Comment (by Tomer):

 (mid-air collision with yoavf comment above. The comment below might be
 less relevant as yoavf already suggested how to actually fix it)

 What hatul is asking for is an option to filter theme results by the theme
 supported language matrix. Imagine a French person who wants to theme his
 website but doesn't have the knowledge or time to spend in translating
 theme strings – currently he can't filter the themes and retrieve list of
 French-supported themes.

 In the case of Hebrew, we are very short in translated themes, and because
 it is complicated to filter the official themes repository there are third
 party theme repositories whose violate the GPL license by removing theme
 credits and claiming it as their own, and also attach malware code to
 themes in order to track usage and violations of their terms of use which
 require you not to change their code and not removing their SEO links, and
 also can do file manipulation on remote hosts which can be used to hack
 other WordPress sites which use their themes.
