Even if the model will reply in my language, I often notice it searching in english. Or thinking in english. There's always something lost in translation. Sometimes it's just minor nuances. Other times it mangles the legal facts with those of other countries.
This sounds like the problem of people calling "911" as the emergency number which they see in so much US-American media but which is not the emergency number in their own country.
I remember being bored as a teenager on a family holiday to New Zealand in the 1990s, so I went and dialled 911 from a payphone to see what would happen-I got a recorded message saying that in New Zealand, the emergency number isn’t 911, it is 111. Dialling 000 (the Australian emergency number) produced a similar recorded message.
In a lot of countries, they redirect the number or put a voice message to the correct emergency number
