I'd love to use the user language as a filter for a view based search, something that's currently not possible (or am I overlooking something?)
Maybe we can use the same logic as views_handler_filter_locale_language (views/modules/locale/views_handler_filter_locale_language.inc) describes (which is used for instance on Content translation: Language field for regular translatable content).

With the very latest dev version of Search API (containing #1237348: Add a "Language control" data alteration), the attached patch should change the Views "Item language" filter to also contain options for the user's preferred language and the site default language.

Patch is working well for me.
Once again posted just one day before I need it, your timing is amazing! :-)
Using it to filter based on the language the user is viewing the site in.

Thanks!
