Description

I’m currently building an agent workflow that relies on streamed reasoning summaries emitted through stream_agent_response (from the Responses API / Agents SDK). It works great—except for one thing:

All reasoning summaries are currently streamed in English, even when the user’s language is clearly different (e.g. French, chinese).

This creates an odd UX where:

The assistant response is in French,

But the thought process / reasoning summaries are in English,

Which breaks immersion and confuses non-English-speaking users

Research direction

Start at stream_agent_response and trace how reasoning summaries from the Responses API or Agents SDK are emitted. Determine how the user’s language can be identified and propagated to summaries, then verify that streamed summaries use that language while the assistant response remains correct.
