SteveEricJordan · reddit · 2026-08-26
A user reports a persistent issue where ChatGPT forces the local language despite settings being configured to English. The problem affects chat names, browsed sources, and the Deep Research feature, which all revert to the local language regardless of prompts or settings. The user criticizes this as 'corporate knows best' behavior based on metadata and urges OpenAI to respect the user's language preferences.
