[Podcasts] Search / Filter Podcasts by Language

Would like to see the possibility to filter podcasts on language. This makes it easier to spot (in my case) non-English podcasts.

Last comment in December 2018... If Spotify waits for enough votes (by the way, what is « enough »?), I am afraid we will never see this much needed improvement. For expats, for people who want to learn or train other languages or, like myself, for people who live in the non-German speaking parts of Switzerland (around 33 % of the population !).

Thank you !

This really shouldn't be that hard to implement. Spotify already tries to throw all the local language content at me.

Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeease implement this language feature for Podcast Recommendation!!! I can't bear to hear any podcast in Brazil, they suck, I'm not interested at all on them. I want them in English! Please please please!

Hey Spotify Team - Would you have any update to share on this idea?

I was about to write the exact same thing. It would be very useful for non-English speakers.

For example, if I search for an Italian keyword, I often get a lot of Spanish results mixed with the very few Italian results (Spanish has 480 milions native speakers, while Italian only has 67). This happens every time some of the search keywords happens to be spelled the same way in both languages. This makes me waste a lot of time in searching, which is a shame, since Spotify is a mother lode for podcasts.

Please take this into account!

Hi @Melody !

 

I'm really impressed, it took 2.5 years for Spotify to reply "Not right now" ...

It will really motivate your customers to give feedback and ideas to see your reaction time ...

 

Thanks anyway !

This is really uncool.

As a fellow dev, I know this doesn't take that long to set up, one very simple form to replace the preset language parameter...

My problem is different, 

 

I live in Germany but do not speak any German therefore would like to hear the podcasts in my mother tongue. Please help ! 😞

This is a must-have feature for sure.

 

As an expat living in Germany, it's very annoying going through an endless list of German speaking podcast to find something in English.

 

Maybe, instead of the filtering, is it possible to select a default language?
