Permission prompts (Yes/No) should respect the Language setting
Resolved 💬 3 comments Opened Mar 18, 2026 by tadayoshimiura Closed Mar 21, 2026
Summary
When the Language setting is configured to a non-English language (e.g., Japanese) via /config, only the AI's responses are localized. The CLI UI elements — particularly the tool permission prompts ("Allow?", "Yes / No") — remain in English.
Expected behavior
All user-facing UI text, including permission prompts, should respect the Language setting configured in /config.
Current behavior
- AI responses: Correctly displayed in the configured language
- Permission prompts (Yes/No): Always displayed in English regardless of the Language setting
Motivation
Users who configure a non-English language likely prefer their entire interface in that language, not just the AI responses. This is especially important for accessibility and usability in non-English-speaking regions.
Environment
- Claude Code CLI
- Language setting: Japanese
