perhaps this repo twitter/util would have been a better place to ask this question?

DETAILS SEE HERE: twitter/twitter-text#291

your questions:

problem in one sentence:

my followers/following use English PLUS another language. I want to select "English only".

Expected behavior

A button on each homepage "show only English tweets"

Actual behavior

button does not exist, tried a myriad of tools, to no avail.

Steps to reproduce the behavior

Interview someone who is not an English native speaker. Let them tell you their experience.

@drandreaskrueger please direct feedback about your Twitter experience to Twitter support, this repo is only about the twitter util project specifically.

Which repo can I use for that?

It makes sense to start a github issue, where coders can communicate & cooperate on this.

If there is no "feature request" repo yet ... create one. It's worth it, believe you me. I have more suggestions, and I am just one of many, who are thinking useful thoughts about & for your company.

There isn't a repo, sorry! Please follow up with Twitter support.

I cannot. Because there is no Twitter support. Look at this:

  1. Contact us --> 3 topics, none fits
  2. view all support topics --> https://help.twitter.com/forms. --> 27 topics, none fits.

You really want a "feature request" repo ...

What about this: tweepy/tweepy#1291 ?

If there is really no twitter API call for that, then everyone who still wants to get that information ... must do 3200 API.search calls [q=t.id for t in _all_my_recent_tweets] - and each possibly with paging calls.

That is not efficient, especially not for the twitter servers, right?
