What model are you using? Are you using ollama? This could be a model problem or #1593

I'm having the same problem. I would like to have the summaries in German, but they remain in English. My AI model is ChatGPT.

Summarize the following content responding ONLY with the summary. You MUST follow the following rules:

  • Summary must be in 3-4 sentences.
  • The summary must be in German.

I use openai model and I don't think it's a model problem as the automatic tagging behavior works as expected with language setting.
