Thanks for describing this usage! As for the problem of generalizing
to more languages, one relatively simple solution would be to allow
arbitrary sexps as filters. Then one could write something like

#+print_bibliography: :filter (lambda (item) (bibitem-has-language item "en")))

Would this type of extension be helpful? One (not necessarily
important)  consequence would be that filters of this type would be
obviously unusable with the biblatex exporter.
