I think their system prompt is in Chinese and probably has instructions to prioritize answering in Chinese, since this has never happened to me via API, where I (or the coding harness) set the system prompt.
replyI just started learning Chinese instead, like they want us to
replyseriously
English isn't the first language for me as well so I don't see any problem with that
replyI'm starting to have chinese characters bleed into claude as well. Perhaps a sign of the times. Understanable for a chinese first model but an english first (supposedly) model? wild stuff.
replyI also love the gaslighting of some models, like ChatGPT mixing in words with cyrillic letters and when asked about it answers: "it can look as Slavic to the eye" and "sorry that it came across as Russian"
replyYes, this is one of the few issues with Deepseek; their chat pages and the app all respond in Chinese. However, i think i have only had it happen once when using the API, and im using it for hours each day for the last... couple of months?
replylast couple of weeks, before they've unified instant and expert the former always replied in chinese unless steered, expert was by default english
replySame issue on desktop. Would be nice be able to set a prefix or postfix for every prompt.
replyI occassionally get Chinese characters interlaced with English in Google AI Mode, too.
replynothing to do with mobile app, I have same issues while using it on desktop browser, it will never remember to use English permanently, even within one conversation
