Can DeepResearch operate in multiple languages or is it primarily focused on English content?

DeepResearch is designed to operate in multiple languages, though its capabilities and performance may vary depending on the language and available training data. While English remains the most thoroughly supported language due to its prevalence in training datasets, the system incorporates techniques to handle non-English content. For example, it uses language-agnostic Natural Language Processing (NLP) methods like subword tokenization (e.g., Byte-Pair Encoding) and multilingual embeddings (e.g., multilingual BERT) to process text in languages such as Spanish, French, German, Chinese, and others. This allows it to perform tasks like text classification, entity recognition, or sentiment analysis across languages, though accuracy might differ based on data quality and linguistic complexity.

The system’s multilingual functionality relies on both explicit language detection and adaptive modeling. For instance, when processing user input, DeepResearch might first use a language identification module (like FastText’s language detector) to determine the input’s language code (e.g., “es” for Spanish). It then routes the request to a model fine-tuned for that language or a general multilingual model. Developers can access language-specific endpoints via API, such as /analyze?text=...&lang=de for German. However, performance for languages with limited training data (e.g., Basque or Swahili) may lag behind due to sparse representations in pretrained models. In such cases, the system might fall back to machine translation to English before processing, introducing latency and potential translation errors.

For developers integrating multilingual support, DeepResearch provides tools like language-specific configuration files and compatibility with translation APIs (e.g., Google Cloud Translation). A practical example: a developer building a customer support dashboard could use DeepResearch to analyze support tickets in Japanese (using a pretrained Japanese BERT variant) while simultaneously processing English product reviews. However, handling right-to-left scripts (e.g., Arabic) or logographic systems (e.g., Chinese) may require additional preprocessing, such as normalizing Unicode characters or adjusting tokenization rules. While the system supports multiple languages out of the box, optimal performance often requires fine-tuning models with domain-specific data in the target language, which developers can do via the platform’s training interface.
