Fun fact: I randomly asked chatgpt to repeat an answer in German yesterday and tomy surprise it just did! Then i continued the conversation (I asked it to be a pretend DM for my first, guided D&D experience) in German and it just worked about as well as in English. The same was true when I switched to French during the ‘conversation’.

I absolutely didn’t expect that because I’ve never seen it in the hyped up examples here and on twitter.

Of course your point still stands with smaller languages and/or markets.

Because of the germanic roots. GPT2 could learn Swedish very quickly too.

Not that it’s difficult with other languages, just that it’s not the best example.

Hadn’t had the chance to try it but it’d be interesting to know what languages were used and for languages with regional variety (e.g. Canadian/French French) can it distinguish between them.
