Hey there!
Though we have not yet added support for multiple language tags, we have added more than 350 new options that we think may help out with this particular ask.
For more information, you can take a look at our blog post at https://blog.twitch.tv/en/2021/05/26/celebrate-yourself-and-your-community-with-350-new-tags/. Thank you for your feedback and ideas!
We will leave this topic open for now for further discussion around whether this meets the needs of the request.

In the 'old' twitch UI, whenever a language was set as the stream language, anyone watching from the same country would see that stresm at the top of the page, but the stream would still show in the overall section below. Now people specifically has to remove any language tag to see the overall section, which really hurts discoverability for bi-/multilingual streamers.
I seriously want this to be a feature, pleaseZidakuh

As a person who understands and speaks more than 2 languages, why is multiple language tags not implemented? See, I am from Denmark, and I naturally understand Danish, but also English. And so does most of Denmark in general. I primarily stream in English since the potential audience is just bigger.
Now here's the problem: I want to have my stream show up for both Danish and English filtered searchresults, since a fairly small amount of people goes out of the way to manually remove or add language tags that aren't their native. I can only have one. So, if a Danish person is looking to watch a stream, mine won't show up for them, unless they either search for an English tag, or remove all language filters alltogether.
This is why we need dual or more language tags for streams.
We want to build communities both in our native country, as well as the rest of the world. But that is just not easy with the current system. Let's not force a language barrier, when there really isn't one anymore, it's 2022 and it's time to unite the world now more than ever.
