Realtime API content filter triggers on non-English input
The Realtime API incorrectly flags non-English speech input as violating content filters, resulting in incomplete responses. This occurs even for simple conversations, and in some cases, the agent avoids transcription entirely without issuing a formal error message.

When providing speech-input to OpenAI’s realtime API with a non-english language, the response.done frame is returned as “status:incomplete” in some cases citing “content-filter” as the reason.
The Agent Real Time avoids to transcript the content and replies that can’t answer.
