I think the basic idea behind this is great, it would fill a real need. But since the language used by an editor when making a change is not stored with that edit (and may be problematic to store because of privacy reasons), it seems difficult to implement as written ("filter Wikidata's recent changes by the language used by the person making the change").
Because of this, I'm going to modify the task description to focus on the language of the content rather than the editor. Namely, it appears we can draw a distinction between language-dependent and language-agnostic content on Wikidata. In particular, language-dependent content includes an item's label, description and aliases. For these, Wikibase stores the language in a machine-readable form in the edit summary (e.g. wbsetdescription-set:1|es for an edit of the Spanish description of an item using the standard edit interface; although some bots and tools may use alternative forms). So we want patrollers to be able to focus on recent changes to language-dependent content in a particular set of languages.
Arguably, edits affecting sitelinks to a Wikipedia in a particular language also belong in this category; they are mentioned in T43686 .
(@Jura1 just made a related proposal on the Project Chat page, in the context of description edits from the mobile apps.)
