Add a Feature to choose more than one language !

A big percentage of streamers speaks more than 2 languages and sadly that generates a conflict when choosing a language to be discover on the directories. Taking for example the fact that if I put my native language(Spanish) and people who are looking streams of the same category but in a specific language(English), sadly those peoples aren't gonna discover my channel even though I can speak English as well. So there is the conflict between what language should I choose everytime I stream even though half of my audience speaks English and the other half even speaks just Spanish or both languages.

Hey all,

Thank you for your feedback. We have a feature rolling out to address this concern. To help viewers and streamers to connect more easily based on their language preferences, a language filter that allows you to choose between 35 languages (and select multiple languages at once) will be available when browsing categories alongside the existing tag filter. We are working on adding this feature to the Twitch mobile app in the future. Thanks again!

    I think this suggestion is for streamer to be able to choose more than one language so it's increasing discoverability when stream is multilingual.
    Recent update is other way around. Streamer still can't specify multiple languages for their stream.

    Make main lang for first raw, then rest of lang you choose to below that. like old days.

    Before you could search for one tag + one language. Now if you are trying to discover streams through a certain tag (such as the vtuber tag) it's impossible to search for a language + that tag, I imagine since they are all considered "custom" tags now. Widely used languages have a generally accepted names. You could even make a new "type" of tag for languages, and keep the old custom ones so everyone wins.

    Multiple language, as it is now we can only switch to have one language att a time. For example im from Sweden i understand Norwegian and danish well naturally. And also speak English but can only search for 1 language at a time. Would Love to have thoose 3 personally all THE time.
    It takes some time going thru them 1 by 1, especially on mobile and often you slip it because its more convienent. THX for streams 💟❣️💜🖤🤍💝💖💗❤️🧡💙💙♥️💚💓💕💕

    Change the tags so that when you put multiple tags, it searches it in a AND,OR function instead of AND. For example when you put two different languages as your tag, English and French. It should filter to show streams that either have English OR French tag.

    Right now the way it works is, it would ONLY show streams that have both languages enabled on their stream which is ZERO. How are Canadians suppose to filter out their channels to watch when you can only filter English and French separately or any other bilingual viewers that want to watch streams from two different languages without having to constantly change the tags.

    Also I remember this was the way that tags worked a long time ago on Twitch. Im not sure who changed it for what reasons.

    i have this idea about streamers that they are speaking more than one language, people and audience must have the ability to find that streamer not only by a single tag language. it is good that if the streamer speaks many languages that he can place another language tag and people can find him by having their filters to all of those languages. It is fair for streamers that they can ''touch'' more viewers and also to be get searched by this ability of theirs

    Most people speak two languages more or less fluently and like to watch streams in both these languages. But currently I don't think there's an option to sort by two languages. Either you don't sort and you see first your own language first (swedish for me) and then beneith there's all streams in all languages. I want to sort in Sweidsh + English

    Let us choose multiple lang filters while browsing twitch, exmp: FIN/ENG so i see only Finnish & English streamers.

    just the title basically.
    as a person who's interested in watching streams in more than 1 language my only options are either not picking any language at all or checking available channels for each language separately, which is kinda annoying
    it would be really nice if you could made it possible to choose more than 1 language with 'or' operation between them cuz for now it just doesnt show any streams PepeHands
