If only they managed to tell the mobile app to tell the model to reply in English to English prompts.

I suffix everything with "Reply in English", and even so I‘m getting lots of Chinese.

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.

		English isn't the first language for me as well so I don't see any problem with that

I'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.

		I 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"

Yes, 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?

Same issue on desktop. Would be nice be able to set a prefix or postfix for every prompt.

I occassionally get Chinese characters interlaced with English in Google AI Mode, too.
