Problem Statement

Currently, Claude Code automatically generates session titles in English (e.g., "Complete infrastructure analysis an..."), even when:

  • The project's CLAUDE.md instructs 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.
