You want to use artificial intelligence for your daily life, from searching for information to creating content or for your enjoyment. Among the most well-known AIs, Google’s Gemini, OpenAI’s ChatGPT, and xAI’s Grok stand out for their performance.
Yet, one detail doesn’t go unnoticed for French speakers: these tools communicate primarily in English. Why? And more importantly, is there an alternative truly suited to French-speaking users?
This article written by our team explores the reasons for this English-language dominance and introduces you to Yiaho, our platform where AI speaks French with ease and naturalness 🙂
Why are Gemini, OpenAI, and Grok in English?
The choice of English for AIs like Gemini, ChatGPT, or Grok is no accident. It’s explained by several factors related to the origin and operation of these technologies:
American companies
Gemini, developed by Google, OpenAI, based in San Francisco, and Grok, created by xAI, are all products of American companies. These companies operate in a technological ecosystem where English is the dominant language, whether for development, research, or the target market. English is therefore naturally the primary language of their AI models.
Predominantly English-language training data
AI models are trained on massive text databases, often sourced from the internet. However, a large portion of online content is in English, which influences the linguistic proficiency of these AIs.
Even if they can respond in French, their fluency and accuracy in this language are sometimes limited, as they rely on less abundant data in French.
An English-centered global market
English is the lingua franca of the technological and commercial world. By prioritizing this language, companies maximize their reach to an international audience. However, this can marginalize non-English-speaking users, who often have to settle for automatic translations or responses less suited to their cultural context.
For French speakers, this English-language dominance can be problematic. An AI that responds in English, even with translation options, risks missing nuances, ignoring cultural references, or producing awkward responses. So, how can we overcome this language barrier?

Why choose Yiaho over an English-language AI?
Using Gemini, ChatGPT, or Grok may suit those who speak English or who don’t have specific language requirements.

With Yiaho, you no longer have to compromise. You benefit from an AI that speaks your language, understands your needs, and adapts to your world.
Moreover, choosing Yiaho means choosing a technology that respects and celebrates the French language. In a world where English dominates the tech sector, Yiaho proves that it’s possible to create a powerful and accessible AI, designed for French speakers, by French speakers.
