I've seen this happen as well with o3-mini, but I'm honestly not sure what triggered it. I use it all the time but have only had it switch to Chinese during reasoning maybe twice.

I've seen Grok sprinkle random Chinese characters into responses I asked for in ancient Greek and Latin.

I get strange languages sprinkled through my Gemini responses, including some very obscure ones. It just randomly changes language for one or two words.

Is it possible the "vector" is more accurate in another language? Like espirit d'esclair or schadenfreude, or any number of other things that are a single word in a language but paragraphs or more in others?

Possibly. I have seen Claude switching to Russian for a word or two when it is about revolution!

Isn't it just it getting increasingly incoherent as non-English data fraction increases?

Last I checked, none of open weight LLMs has languages other than English as its sole dominant language represented in the dataset.
