Bug Report: ChatGPT unexpectedly switched to Tamil text output without prior language preference or relevant con
`Steps to Reproduce`

Begin a normal English conversation (in this case, about rooting an Android phone).

Ask a technical question unrelated to languages or past personalization (e.g., “can you help me root my Oppo Reno 10?”).

ChatGPT suddenly responds partially or fully in Tamil text, even though the user never set Tamil as a text language preference.

No verification or notice of personalization activation appears before the language switch.

`Expected Result`

ChatGPT should continue replying in the current conversation language (English) unless explicitly prompted to change languages or a relevant context cue is present.

`Actual Result`

ChatGPT unexpectedly responded in Tamil text mid-conversation, referencing an assumed old personalization or speech-language preference that was never configured for text replies.

No user confirmation or context link (e.g., prior mention of Tamil in this session) triggered it. The switch appeared spontaneous, raising concerns about how and when personalization settings are reactivated.
