| Google AI overviews refusing to answer in English unless explicitly instructed with "Answer in English only" is pretty annoying. |

| For me, it's always in the language I'm asking in, though my Google account language is set to English. |

| I often get answers in non-english languages. I don't understand why they aren't forcing the language that the user is browsing with unless otherwise specified. |

I assume many queries you cannot trace to the user language because they’re just some generic search terms (‘taj mahal’,’Donald Trump China’ or whatever) so they probably instruct the model to answer in a specific language and they overdo it a bit | | | |
