Problem:

I've been requested to add an additional taxonomy for English and Spanish languages.

My question is whether it is best to use a new Custom Field or a new Taxonomy to distinguish the languages?

Also, how can I set up a separate language views?

Is there a tutorial of some sort?

Solution:

It depends on your website request, if your website will add more languages in the future, I suggest you try with custom taxonomy "languages", so you will be able to add more terms when you create/edit a "Channels" post.

If there are only two "languages" items in your website in the future, then you can setup it as a custom field "languages", then all the options are controlled by website administrator.

If it is a taxonomy "languages", you can add a filter in your post view:

Value set by View shortcode attribute "languages"

Then display the view's shortcode like this:
[wpv-view name="MY-VIEW-NAME" languages="english"]
[wpv-view name="MY-VIEW-NAME" languages="Spanish"]
