There are tonnes of options to customize things to your liking with the features we already have.
For example, you could /w (whisper) or /pm (private message)
You could turn off the main chat and then only use the above commands.
You could make a gang and talk in gang chat (whilst still having main chat disabled).

Still, I don't want people ignored by me... If they want to tell us something, I can't hear them.
It's completely understandable to not wish to see chat of other languages, but I find a few problematic things with this suggestion:
1) Separating languages from players via a command (i.e. your suggestion) would be hard to enforce; theoretically, staff would likely be required to "force" the command on players, as not every non-English speaking player would use it.. likely requiring a very redundant rule.
2) Bilingualism. Many players who speak English also speak other languages, which would make it tedious to alternate between filtered & non-filtered chat to be able to contact English speaking players. I even learn some Spanish via SA:MP.
3) Less reports. Non-English speakers may point out a cheating player (words like "cheats" are universal in SA:MP), and if the chat is filtered by someone who can record (or report on Discord), that player won't see it.

Like my second point addressed, it would be tedious to alternate between toggling chat filter on & off. It's probably best that you can hear them on the off-chance that they need to talk to you or alert players of a cheater
Here's how it will work:
1. Player A types "/chatfilter".
2. He selects "non-english".
Now, he'll be able to see the players who have selected "non-english".
Player B will not be able to see his messages until player A selects English options.

Does it mean i can't speak german with my non-german friends?!?
but seriously, i wouldn't type a command to change my chat language just so i can type in german lol
I never had a problem with the other languages in the chat. I don't see any real benefit in this, as I find that you can still clearly see who is writing in English and who you can write with and who isn't.
