Comment on guys why does armenian completely break Claude

Comments

Interesting. I've gotten really good mileage with Georgian and ChatGPT, which I'm aware is apples and oranges.

There should be a larger Armenian corpus out there. Do any other languages cause this issue? Translation is a real killer app for LLMs, surprised to see this problem in 2026.

claude fails on RTL like im using IE 6. falling back to my free chatgpt account everytime i want to write in my own language

Armenian is LTR, so that can't be it...

Ah, it's probably because they're asking for bomb-making instructions. I can see low-resource language + guard-rail running into issues.
