Description
What version of the Codex App are you using (From “About Codex” dialog)?
ChatGPT/Codex desktop app 26.825.51511 (build 7377). Bundled codex-cli: 0.151.0-alpha.7.2.
What subscription do you have?
Unknown from the local app environment (signed-in ChatGPT account).
What platform is your computer?
Darwin 25.6.0 x86_64 i386
What issue are you seeing?
During an active task in the Codex desktop app, the pet progress label mixed Spanish with a Cyrillic word:
Añadir acciones masivas en кандидати
The subtitle was Ejecutando comando. The interface and conversation were in Spanish. кандидати means “candidates” in Ukrainian/Bulgarian, but it should not appear in an otherwise Spanish status label.
What steps can reproduce the bug?
- Use the Codex desktop app with the conversation in Spanish.
- Show the Codex pet/progress indicator.
- Run a task whose generated progress summary refers to adding bulk actions for candidates.
- Observe the automatically generated progress label.
This may be nondeterministic because the label appears to be generated dynamically.
What is the expected behavior?
The progress label should remain in the conversation/interface language:
Añadir acciones masivas en candidatos
Generated pet status labels should not unexpectedly mix languages.
Additional information
Observed on 2026-09-08 at approximately 18:42 Europe/Madrid. A screenshot was captured showing the mixed-language label. No CRM data or sensitive information is required to reproduce the localization problem.

Research direction

Check how the generated progress summary produces the mixed-language label, then verify that the status remains in Spanish, using “Añadir acciones masivas en candidatos” as the expected wording.
