Feature Request: Localize slash command descriptions based on language setting

Resolved 💬 3 comments Opened Mar 9, 2026 by takuchi-akie Closed Mar 12, 2026

Summary

When pressing / in an interactive session, the built-in command descriptions in the autocomplete menu are displayed only in English. Since settings.json already supports a language setting (e.g., "japanese"), it would be great if the slash command autocomplete menu also respected this setting.

Current Behavior

  • settings.json language setting only affects Claude's response language
  • Built-in command descriptions (/clear, /rename, /compact, etc.) are hardcoded in English
  • Custom skills can have custom descriptions via frontmatter, but built-in commands cannot be customized

Desired Behavior

  • The slash command autocomplete menu should display descriptions in the language configured in settings.json
  • Or at minimum, provide a way for users to override/customize built-in command descriptions

Use Case

Non-English speaking users (e.g., Japanese) would benefit from seeing command descriptions in their native language when browsing the autocomplete menu, improving discoverability and usability.

Environment

  • OS: Windows 11
  • Language setting: "japanese"
