I've got a simple Rewriter demo here, https://codepen.io/cfjedimaster/pen/KwVoXZz, and it works fine, but last night in a presentation I saw something crazy.

I did my usual demo - selected casual and shorter and ran it on the source input. The result was as expected. Then for fun, I took _that_ output, copied, pasted into the textarea, and ran it again, which in the past has created an even more casual shorter version. Heck, I think I've done it like 5 times in a row once. 

Last night though (and just now), it consistently translates the input to Spanish. 

Now, I know I can specify expected input and output languages and I'm pretty sure it would fix it, but as this is new behavior, I figured I'd share.

Thanks for the report. Unfortunately I can't even try to repro myself at the moment, as the call just hangs, LiteRT-LM backend enabled or disabled. (The bug you reported about yesterday.) If you can still repro on your end with the `outputLanguage` set to 'en', then that's definitely a bug and you should please report it. Thanks as always!

Cheers,
Tom

That did the trick. I went ahead and added a button to copy over the result to the input:


Thanks!
