So why do you have in your database channels that broadcast shows in 
languages you don't want?  I'm assuming the channels themselves tend to 
stick to a given language, so just remove (or hide) the ones you don't want.

Or, if you must leave a ton of channels you don't want in the database 
(to slow down guide import, scheduling, and channel change; and to make 
it more likely that you'll record stuff you don't want), you can use the 
"this channel" filter to constrain your rules to a given channel or use 
Power/Custom recording rules to list which channels to consider.
