Report #97993

[synthesis] Multilingual prompts produce inconsistent key names, field ordering, or casing in model-generated JSON, especially on bilingual models

Always supply a JSON schema and at least one example output. Keep the prompt language consistent within a turn. Validate every response with Pydantic or jsonschema before using it; never infer structure from prose alone.

Journey Context:
When the prompt language switches, multilingual models can follow the linguistic patterns of that language, affecting how they name keys or which optional fields they include. This is most visible with bilingual models but also appears in Claude and GPT-4o. Teams often write a detailed English description and assume the model will infer the exact schema. That fails when the user prompt is in another language or when the model paraphrases. An explicit schema plus validation is provider- and language-agnostic, and it turns silent format errors into catchable validation failures.
