When using an AI Agent, does the tool description need to be in English, or the language of the incoming prompt?

Describe the problem/error/question

I’m wondering, when using an AI Agent with GPT, and multiple tools, if we need to provide the tool descriptions in English, or rather in the language that the user will be using to interact with the flow. (so the language of the incoming chat message)?

It depends on the LLM you are using. I have a Workflow with a AI Agent node with llama3.2 latest. Ollama3.2 supports English, German, French, Italian, Portuguese, Hindi, Spanish, and Thai.

While testing with English, Dutch and German the results in German were off. Dutch and English System Message in the node work fine.

LLM llava seems to understand Amharic for example.

Hey! i honestly haven’t noticed a difference.

I usually make them depending on the language i created the system prompt for the agent.

it has worked without any issue in both open ai and google models.
