Summary

Wobblewick (the companion snail) always speaks in English regardless of user language preferences. Even when CLAUDE.md explicitly instructs all outputs including Wobblewick to be in a specific language (e.g., Turkish), Wobblewick ignores these instructions and continues responding in English.

Problem

  • Users who don't speak English fluently cannot understand Wobblewick's messages
  • CLAUDE.md instructions (both global ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md and project-level) have no effect on Wobblewick's language
  • There is currently no way to configure Wobblewick's locale

Expected behavior

Wobblewick should respect the language preferences set in CLAUDE.md or have a dedicated locale/language setting (e.g., environment variable like CLAUDE_CODE_LOCALE=tr).

Steps to reproduce

  1. Add to ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md:
  • Always write in Turkish. All outputs including Wobblewick must be in Turkish.
  1. Restart Claude Code
  2. Wobblewick still speaks in English

Suggested solution

  • Wobblewick could read CLAUDE.md language instructions, or
  • A CLAUDE_CODE_LOCALE environment variable could control Wobblewick's language, or
  • A setting in settings.json for companion language
