Feature Request: Session title language should respect `language` setting in settings.json
Resolved 💬 3 comments Opened Mar 17, 2026 by shuniri Closed Mar 20, 2026
Problem
Currently, session titles are always auto-generated in English, even when:
settings.jsonhas"language": "ja"CLAUDE.mdexplicitly instructs to use Japanese titles (marked as highest priority)- The entire conversation is conducted in Japanese
- Memory files reinforce the instruction
No matter what configuration is set, the auto-generated session title always defaults to English.
Expected Behavior
Session titles should be generated in the language specified by the language setting in settings.json. For example, if "language": "ja" is set, titles should be auto-generated in Japanese.
Additional Request
A /rename slash command to manually rename sessions from within a session would also be very helpful as a workaround. Currently there is no way to rename a session title from inside a running session.
Environment
- Claude Code (latest version as of March 2026)
- Windows 11
