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

  1. Open Claude Code in VSCode extension
  2. Start a new conversation in Traditional Chinese (e.g. "檢查類別設定中的交貨方式是否沒有使用")
  3. The auto-generated conversation title is in English instead of Chinese
