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.

I get it's 3 years later but I will explain. You will never get rid of Streams that are in a different language. Some Streamers don't put a language filter in their stream, so it will still show up on twitch. Also, if you like a game it will show you the most popular viewers regardless of language filter. You will get notification and offers from channels because your followed Streamers have these as suggestive streamers to view while they themselves are not online. Has 0 to do with Algorithm's.

I went to an Asian channel to get a drop and now all of my recommendations are in a different language. Then I went to support thinking I could actually get help and just got redirected to an unrelated page with every category I checked. Twitch is a jerk for doing that. Deleting my account

This is really something I would like. Not only for recommended but to be able to filter the languages shown to me when browsing categories/channels. I know I can use tags but that only allows for 1 language at a time. I wanna be able to choose what languageS without having to be shown all the languages I can't understand..

This is bonkers. Suddenly every recommendation is Italian. I'm not using a VPN, so it's not like it's misidentifying my location. I refuse to believe there are no English-speaking streamers on at all today. Recommendations are useless, discovering new channels is an exercise in frustration.

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".
