WordCamps cannot be filtered by language

[zodiac1978]

As a meetup organizer I try to tell our community/visitors what happens beside our meetup. In our intro I show them all WordCamps which will happen in the next time.

For WordCamps in my home country this is easy, as the language will be no problem.

But for international WordCamps I always need to check the WordCamps websites if this is a WordCamp that have at least an English track.

On the Events page, there is no way to check this in general:
​https://events.wordpress.org/
I can filter by Country, but not by language used.

I need to visit every page and check it manually.

The dashboard widget in the WP backend is also somewhat limited. It shows me Meetups and WordCamps based on my city location. This is a great way to show the nearest Meetups, but it doesn't make much sense for WordCamps. For this bigger events I would travel to e.g. Vienna (upcoming WordCamp in my language, as it is bilingual German/English), but this is not shown for my northern Germany town Hamburg.

I would like to see a way to set up the language used at a WordCamp, enabling filtering for language on the events page and in the dashboard widget.

Could you file this on ​https://github.com/WordPress/wordcamp.org/issues/new/choose instead? That's the central place for WordCamp & WordPress Event issue tracking :)

I will say; At present we don't track Language for Events (WordCamp or Meetups) at all, so we'll need to do that prior to allowing filtering.

Of course, I will open up an issue there!
