Yep. Before gemma3 we where struggling with multilinguality on smaller European languages, and it is still one of the batter ones in that regard (even large open or closed models struggle with this to some extent). Gemma3 also is still pretty decent multi modal wise.
I didn't know this was a thing until I read this thread but I can confirm that it does fine(not perfect by any means just like the average casual non-native fluent speaker) and it is one of the reasons I use it as my local model.
