Stop recommending me channels in languages I don't speak!
I've logged into Twitch today to find my recommendations page filled with stuff in Spanish, Turkish, Russian and Korean. I speak none of these. It's also offering me a "while [channel name] is offline" section for a channel I don't even follow. Fix your stupid algorithm.

To be honest I think this should be a requirement to stream: To type in your (max 2 or 3) spoken languages so that the viewers can filter channels after the language they do speak. This would be great imo. The feature added with this one would be to be able to report channels using the wrong language tag. So people can't fake-add English only to be shown to a broader audience when they really only speak (incert language here).

This. A million times, THIS. Of the 10 channels in the 'Live Channels We Think You'll Like' section only 2 are in English. As if it's not hard enough to get found on Twitch you're wasting recommendations on languages that people don't even speak.
YouTube Gaming doesn't seem to have this issue and for the life of me, I can't imagine why after all these years there isn't a way to set your language for recommended channels. Fix your janky nonsense.

Is it possible to simply add a feature which allows you to block streams in certain languages, or inversely, allows you to set the languages which you speak, so we don't get recommendations for channels in which I can't understand a single word?

For atleast half a year I have been getting the same "local" streamers as recommended streamers and ofcourse the odd tournament. I never watch any of them and find the option more of a hinderance, pausing it asap before heading to the ones I do enjoy. Adding the option to disclude certain languages/games/streamers and/or prioritise others seems like a easy way to improve the functionallity of "recommended streamers".
