Selecting a primary tweet language and a secondary tweet language

I would love it if this great plugin also had the ability to show tweets from more than one language.

What I mean is that at the moment you have to select which one language you want your tweets to be in.

However, seeing as I am from Denmark I would prefer danish tweets, but the danish twitter community isn't large enough to make that interesting enough, so I have to set the language to English to get "fresher" tweets - even though my target audience is Danish.

It would be so nice if I could select, that the primary language is Danish and the secondary is English with the effect that Tweet Blender tries to fetch as many Danish tweets as possible (on the given subject) and when no more new Danish tweets are available, Tweet Blender will instead fetch those in English.

And yes, I have already seen this post: http://getsatisfaction.com/tweet_blen... - but what I am proposing is not selecting two languages at once but instead a primary and a secondary (and tertiary and so on - if needed).

Hello Esben,
Thanks for the idea. As I noted in the thread you referenced, the API only supports one language filter. Nevertheless, I think I could accommodate your request by allowing to define language filter for each source. Something like "@user~en-US". This way you'll be able to list a source with one language and then the same source with a secondary language and so on...

Yes that's exactly what I was trying to say: That it could be done serverside by Tweet Blender by automatically switching language filter.

Thanks for a great and responsive support.
