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.jsonlanguagesetting 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"
