Userscript for browsers that displays a stream’s language code like [EN] / [JA] / [ES] right in the Twitch UI. Works on channel preview cards in directories and on the channel page header itself. Two visual modes are available: a top‑right badge on the card or a right‑aligned suffix next to the streamer's username.
- Detects and shows the stream language (ISO‑like two‑letter codes and common locale variants).
- Two visual modes:
- suffix — small label aligned to the right of the streamer's username.
- badge — compact pill in the top‑right corner of a preview card.
- Works across SPA navigations (React router) and on initial load.
- Annotates both directory/browse cards and the channel header.
- Has several fallbacks when language cannot be determined from GQL.
- Install Tampermonkey (or another userscript manager).
- Install the script from one of the mirrors:
Open the script in your userscript manager and change the value of:
const VISUAL_MODE = 'suffix';suffix - adds label next to the streamer's username.
badge - adds small pill in the top-right corner of the preview card.
The script passively listens to Twitch’s SPA updates and XHR GQL responses, extracts language info from fields like broadcasterLanguage, language, and content tags, and maps localized tag names to ISO‑like codes when needed. It then annotates relevant DOM nodes as they appear.
In rare cases, you may see a [??] suffix — this happens when the stream has no language set in GQL and no recognizable custom tags to infer it from. This is a known issue and I’m exploring possible ways to improve detection; it may be resolved in future updates.
