Its Japanese ability is even worse... and by that I mean it's basically nonexistent. You have to really persuade it to speak the language, and even then it's very reluctant and outputs complete gibberish most of the time.
Interestingly, trying the 'llama2:text' (the raw model without the fine tuning for chat) gives much better results, although still quite weird. Maybe the fine tuning process — since it presumably focuses on English — destroys what little Japanese ability was in there to begin with.
(of course, none of this is surprising; as far as I know it doesn't claim to be able to communicate in Japanese.)
