# How well does Grok handle prompts that switch between languages?

Has anyone tested Grok with a conversation that switches languages mid-sentence—for example, English instructions mixed with Spanish names or technical terms? I’m curious whether it follows the requested response language consistently, or starts translating terms that should stay as written.

If you use it for multilingual support or research, what kinds of prompts have been reliable, and where does it get confused?
