I think this is the case already, though if I'm not mistaken it's based on locale detection (which is more reliable).
However, the system also always selects English too, which tends to overwhelm every other language due to post amount and the number of English-speaking users.
It would be nice to have language-specific discovery feeds 🤔
I could use that too, since I would like to check what's trending locally just as much as I like to see global trends.
(I turned off the language filter completely, but in practice I see a non-English post less than once a day.)
