[Commons] search Canvas Commons by language

It would be nice to add a feature to look for courses by language in Canvas Commons' filter.

I could easily find courses available in French, English, Spanish, etc.

Problem statement:

It is very time consuming and frustrating to search Commons and have to weed through thousands of search results that I cannot read or use due to them not being in English. Furthermore, if I wanted to search for resources in a specific language only, there is no way to do that.

Proposed solution:

Teachers' time is extremely limited and valuable. It would be a huge time saver if users could filter their searches in Commons by language and/or country of origin. The existing filters are great, and the addition of these two options would be fantastic. I would be much more likely to use the Commons if it were easier to find what I need quickly.
