- gentlewater 24d agoI finally uninstalled the app yesterday after giving it plenty of chances over several months. Yesterday, I asked it whether «DeepSeek has fixed the issue where it erroneously answers in Chinese?» and it answered in Chinese.
- elaus 24d agoSo you did not do what the post you replied to suggested?
- michimagdesign 24d agoThis shouldn’t be a user-facing issue. The web UI should inject the account’s language setting or solve it like competitors. They’ve mentioned giving it multiple chances but it’s still not fixed.
- alightsoul 24d agoAnthropic does the same thing but it's not problem
- gentlewater 24d agoOh, I’ve tried that too. It will promise to keep it in English from here on out, then switch back to Chinese after two or three exchanges. When ever it needs to do a web search, it seems to load so much Chinese text that it forgets any language instructions. Just thought my experience yesterday was more to the point. Right now the chat is absolutely hopeless.
- swiftcoder 24d agohuh. mine only does this on the first turn on a new computer. Once I've told it once it seems to be entirely sticky on that device from then on
- jtbayly 24d agoOn the contrary, this is very strong steering in a prompt!
- fdsjgfklsfd 24d agoNo you can't. It still responds in Chinese after explicitly asking it to "Always reason and respond in English."
- swiftcoder 23d agoI've literally only done this once per computer I use the web interface on, and it's always stuck thereafter. I can't speak to the mobile app
