Claude sucks at non English languages. Gemini and ChatGPT are much better. Grok is the worst. I am a native Czech speaker and Claude makes up words and Grok sometimes respond in Russian. So while I love it for coding, it’s unusable for general purpose for me.

Geopolitically speaking this is hilarious.

		The voice mode sounded like a Ukrainian trying to speak Czech. I don’t think it means anything.

Claude is quite good at European Portuguese in my limited tests. Gemini 3 is also very good. ChatGPT is just OK and keeps code-switching all the time, it's very bizarre.

I used to think of Gemini as the lead in terms of Portuguese, but recently subjectively started enjoying Claude more (even before Opus 4.5).

In spite of this, ChatGPT is what I use for everyday conversational chat because it has loads of memories there, because of the top of the line voice AI, and, mostly, because I just brainstorm or do 1-off searches with it. I think effectively ChatGPT is my new Google and first scratchpad for ideas.

Claude code (opus) is very good in Polish.

I sometimes vibe code in polish and it's as good as with English for me. It speaks a natural, native level Polish.

I used opus to translate thousands of strings in my app into polish, Korean, and two Chinese dialects. Polish one is great, and the other are also good according to my customers.
