When browsing peertube, every other video is in other languages than english.

Makes the content feel too much irrelevant.

There ought to be a language setting.

Peertube has language setting. When you're at the main page, click on "Settings" in the sidebar. You'll get this pop-up (you probably in English, though):

The bottom field lets you set which languages you want to see videos in. Just remove "All languages" and set "English" and whatever other languages you want to see.

However, I just tried it on the peertube.social instance, it didn't work for me. But then the problem is not that Peertube doesn't have a language settings, but that the language settings don't work...

If you have a Peertube account and are logged in, you can change displayed languages in your account settings. That works for me.
