Issue

We want to support English and German to start with.

How should the system behave?

• The UI switches languages based on browser language already ✅
• Should the LLM always answer in the UI language?
• What if the user ask in a different language?
• How does the LLM perform in translating?
  • Thanks to the multilingual embeddings, we should already retrieve information in both languages transparently
  • Can the LLM get a context in one language and still respond correctly in another language?
• Should we somehow restrict everything to a single language at a time? How?
