Feature Request
Description
The companion/buddy feature (Waffleth ghost) currently displays all messages in English. There's no way to configure the language of companion messages.
Current behavior
settings.jsonsupports"language": "Español"for Claude Code UI- Waffleth's speech bubble messages are always in English regardless of the language setting
Requested behavior
Add a configuration option to translate companion messages to the user's configured language. This could be:
- Automatically use the existing
languagefield fromsettings.json - Or add a dedicated
companionLanguagefield
Example
{
"language": "Español"
}
Should also make Waffleth speak in Spanish (or whichever language is configured).
Context
Users working in non-English environments would benefit from having the full UI experience in their language, including the companion messages.
