Voice assistant Chinese settings issue

My Home Assistant voice assistant is set to Chinese, but it shows ‘device not found’; when set to English, it can recognize and control devices normally. Has anyone encountered a similar issue, and how can this problem be solved? Thank you.

Can you provide a snapshot/image of the configuring for your voice assistant for Chinese?

I’m not using STT or TTS for now; I’m just typing Chinese commands in the chat box. But when the language is set to Chinese, it shows that the device can’t be found, while in English it works fine.
help me thanks

I have HA set up to use my native language as English, but I have a voice assist instance setup for Chinese the same as you and I can type a 中文 intent (example: 打开 Computer Room 的灯) into the dialog box and it works.

When does it show this error… is it when you update the setting or is it when you use a 中文 intent?
