I do a lot of searches like

> https://github.com/search? l=Common+Lisp&o=desc&q=lisp& s=updated&type=Repositories

and while I often get Chinese results mixed in (not to exclude Japanese and a few others!), I actually like seeing what people are up to regardless of their spoken language.

When something interesting shows up, there's an online translator for that.

While there is some value to seeing what is trending in whatever language you speak, that is a specific filter that gets further and further away from the reality of what is actually trending on github. Github is all about programming and not about spoken language, so the filter would be a tad arbitrary (although maybe someone would be interested in knowing how many Rust repos are written in Swahili or Cree).

That filter could be a feature, but on a global platform, the Chinese certainly aren't "ruining" it. They are integral to it.
