suggestion for improvement

Open

I immediately apologize, because I do not know English well, I write through a google translator.
For the convenience of searching and filtering distributions, I consider it necessary to add a function whereby distributions in different languages ​​will not be shown to the user, so it will be more convenient for people who do not know English, Chinese and other languages ​​to find something to their liking.
I ask you to answer your decision to my request.

I like this suggestion a lot. As an English speaker, I rarely find games that are not in English, but there are some. A filter for that would benefit many users all over the world would be a welcome addition

I would guess this is probably something easier done with EGST then implementing new feature on SG

Also - what does OP mean by "distribution in different language" ? The description in giveaway ? If so I don't believe it warrants a new feature at all just to show 3 giveaways out of 100 or more. If they mean the language in game (or description in Steam itself) then EGST as I said.

But I don't use it myself so those who do can probably answer whether such a feature already exists

This is just my conjecture but there are cases where very small indie studios would lack language support for all but their native language, usually English, and maybe a few European languages for their games. I remember coming across this one interesting game that was only in Portuguese, for example, and it's pretty common in the Chinese game dev market to only have CHS/CHT supported. What is being suggested seems to be a language filter for in-game languages. This way a person who can only speak certain languages can avoid games that don't have their native language supported. It's pretty niche given how the video game industry has been going lately and could possibly increase the difficulty for smaller games to be noticed (if you were a selling platform), but for a giveaway site it's a definite QoL improvement that I see no reason not to support. I won't deny that I'd be frustrated winning a game only to learn I can't play it because I don't know any of the languages supported.

If we are talking about language in the game then that could probably be a nice feature. Looks like a lot of ganes offer other languages besides English.

But that should probably be done through ESGST if such a feature isn't already implemented.
