Some games require a common language(s)

This does not apply to most games, but at least one I can think of, Saboteur, does in fact require the players to chat to inform or bluff one another as an essential part of gameplay.

For these few games, I would like to request that player access to the Table be able to be restricted to one or several languages. For example, I would like to be able to open a Saboteur table to English and French players only. Nothing against persons who speak something foreign, but the game play experience in Saboteur with someone with no common tongue is similar to that of playing with a bot, for all parties, I'm sure.

Thanks for pointing this out, Ishmael. I would tend to agree with regard to Saboteur, as games can indeed be sabotaged by a lack of communication. Of course you could just expel players who don't have the appropriate language tags, but it would be better and much less impolite to at least have a language warning in place (which could be translated into all the various languages supported here).
