Problem Statement
Currently, Claude Code automatically generates session titles in English (e.g., "Complete infrastructure analysis an..."), even when:
- The project's
CLAUDE.mdinstructs Claude to always respond in a specific language (e.g., Portuguese) - The entire conversation is conducted in a non-English language
This creates an inconsistency: the conversation is in Portuguese, but the session list shows English titles, forcing users to manually rename every session.
Proposed Solution
Add a configuration option in settings.json:
{
"sessionTitleLanguage": "pt-BR"
}
Or alternatively, respect the language already declared in CLAUDE.md when generating titles.
