Filtering on the custom tag "English" now shows multiple non-English streams, and for the English streamers that doesn't use that tag they obviously don't show up.

Which means that it is currently impossible to show all streamers that are speaking English.

Force each streamer to set a primary language and let the viewers filter on a primary language. If someone sets the wrong primary language (i.e. non-English speaker sets primary language to English to draw more viewers) the viewer can report them, like when a streamer is in the wrong category.

With established tags removed (now being entirely creator-made/shared), being a moderator, I've seen an incredible influx of not only non-native speakers who are both confused and then offended their primary language isn't welcome in chats (as foreign languages can be difficult to moderate if you don't speak them), but those who use their non-native language to say terrible things in chat believing they can get away with it. This suggestion (or something similar) would not only help streamers and their moderators, but improve viewer experience, as well.

This broke recently. For a long time I was default filtered to English. For the first time since freeform tags, I removed that filter to check how much else was in one category. Now I can't go back. "english" seems to filter, although "English" is displayed by each stream. However, now it's not persistent and I have to re-add the tag every time I browse.

I could've sworn before the custom tag "update" that if you had a language selected in your creator dashboard... it would automatically add the tag to your streams??? now it does not. this was at LEAST somethinggggg just give this feature back

This suggestion was made in 2015 and there still is no way of properly filtering for languages. The tag system was never great for language filtering, because not every streamer picked a language tag. But since the change to custom tags it's even worse.

Filtering for "English" - or any tag for that matter - doesn't carry over to different game directories. You have to manually set the filter every time. And of course now most of the streams don't have any language tag at all, so filtering for "English" means you don't see half of the English-speaking streams. Even the ones that had this tag before now lost it.

Now with new filters, it's impossible to search by language

Some languages should have a special treatment. e.g. Spanish - There is European Spanish and Latin American Spanish. You should be able to search all variants or just one variant. Similarly German. There is Low German, Bavarian/Austrian German, Swiss German and some other variants. Another case is Balkan/Adria/South Slavic languages. They are basically the same and you should be able to search all of them at once.

zur zeit kann man nur, innerhalb einer kathegorie, nach einer sprache filtern. es wäre schon, wenn man auch im browse bereich schon nach seiner beforzugten sprache filter könnte, denn es ist etwas nervig, wenn man in eine kathegorie geht und keiner in meiner bevorzugten sprache streamt. so sieht man nur die kathegorien. die auch in meiner gesuchten sprache gestreamt wird.

The user's language should be one of the suggested filters in the "filter by tags". Currently one has to search all tags and find their language in a large drop-down.

This is for the Android app (not sure how it is implemented on other platforms).

With the new app Primary languauge follows systems settings which is really bad! Many users are multi-lingual and have different preference of system language that differs from the language of stream they watch!

The same!!

This festure exists?!

Add option to filter streams by language, so you could filter only "English" streams etc.

All so maybe add Filter to playable platform. Sins there lots of console stremers, It myght come handy
