What's Wrong?
Conversation titles in VSCode extension are always generated in English, even when the user's messages are entirely in Traditional Chinese. Previously, titles were auto-generated in the same language as the user's input. This changed recently without any settings update.
What Should Happen?
Conversation titles should be auto-generated in the same language as the user's input. If the user writes in Chinese, the title should be in Chinese.

Steps to Reproduce
- Open Claude Code in VSCode extension
