I get answers in Spanish (Aider 0.2.5 and o1-mini) #1791

Issue

I get answers in Spanish, which is weird. I don't doubt the model because I use it in other tools, and I get answers in English, but with Aider 0.2.5 0.57.1 I get this behavior (my use case requires o1-mini, so testing or working with other models is worthless. I need o1-mini)

Version and model info

aider 0.57.1 model: o1-mini

Thank you for filing this issue.

You are running a very outdated version of aider, please try uninstalling and reinstalling.

See here for instructions -> https://aider.chat/docs/install/install.html

Update: I just saw that you are running 0.57.1, which is recently current, not 0.2.5 as you first stated.

Apart from that, it is a quirk of this model (and some others) to answer in a random language when there not enough content in the context. If you keep seeing this behavior even with some files in the context and some chat history, try using a code conventions file and put "Always answer in English" into it.

See here -> https://aider.chat/docs/usage/conventions.html

Thank you for the feedback.

The 0.2.5 was a typo.

I always start the chat by adding all the source files (around 12k tokens). The source code uses English in comments and variable naming conventions, etc. Also, I find it hard to blame the model; I use it in other contexts (not using aider), and I have never experienced this hallucination.

@jorgecolonconsulting I think it would; it's similar to my workaround: I added a CONVENTIONS.md file with a prompt requesting the model always to use English (as suggested by @fry69 ) Any idea when your fix will be merged? Btw, I'll test later and let you know if I notice any hallucinations. Thank you

Only @paul-gauthier knows.

@younes-io Not sure why no one mentioned it, but this problem already popped up multiple times recently - aider sends info about your system to the LLM, including system language. For me, it included a simple "System language: cs", which was enough to sometimes cause aider to reply in czech. Soon after raising the issue, a chat-language flag was added. I have it in my .aider.conf.yml as chat-language: "en" and had no issues since. You can try it. Might also be able to pass it using --chat-language

@AspireOne Oh I didn't know that. I will definitely try this! Thank you!
