Claude Code unexpectedly switches output language from Korean to Japanese mid-response

Resolved 💬 3 comments Opened Feb 11, 2026 by angelo-insightquest Closed Feb 15, 2026

Description:
While working in a Korean-language conversation, Claude Code suddenly switched
its output language to Japanese mid-response without any prompt or instruction
to do so. The conversation was entirely in Korean, and the system instructions
explicitly set Korean as the response language. The switch happened during a
technical analysis section within the same response.

Expected behavior: Claude Code should maintain the configured response language
throughout the entire conversation.

Actual behavior: Output language switched from Korean to Japanese mid-response
during code analysis.
