Long summaries default to English while short summaries use Russian (SUMMD Chrome extensio
Hello,
I'm encountering a language issue with the SUMMD (YouTube AI Chat & Summary) Chrome extension.
Description:
- Short/quick summaries and the transcript preview are produced in Russian for Russian-language videos, but long/full ("Deep dive") summaries are generated in English.
- It appears the extension uses YouTube captions for short summaries, but falls back to its internal ASR/summary pipeline (defaulting to English) for long summaries.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Open a Russian-language YouTube video (example: <VIDEO_URL>).
2. With SUMMD enabled, request a short summary — observe it appears in Russian.
3. Then request a long/deep summary — observe it appears in English.
Observed behavior:
- Short summary: Russian.
- Long/deep summary: English.
Expected behavior:
- Long/full summaries should be produced in Russian when the video language is Russian, or at least respect a "Preferred language: Russian" setting for all summary types.
Additional information:
- Extension version: <EXTENSION_VERSION>
- Chrome version: <CHROME_VERSION>
- Signed in as: <ACCOUNT_EMAIL> (if applicable)
- I tested with YouTube CC (subtitles) both enabled and disabled. When CC is enabled, short summaries come out in Russian; long summaries still default to English.
- Attached screenshots show the issue.
Questions / Request:
1. Is there a setting to force Russian for all summary types (including Deep dive)?
2. Does the long-summary pipeline require a paid plan or a separate language option?
3. If you need debug logs or other information, please tell me precisely what to collect.
Thanks for your help,
Armen Abachian
