Feature Request: Turkish (tr-TR) language support for Claude Code & Fathom companion
Resolved 💬 3 comments Opened Apr 4, 2026 by osrt91 Closed Apr 8, 2026
Summary
Claude Code currently supports 15 locales (de-DE, en-US, es-419, es-ES, fr-FR, hi-IN, id-ID, it-IT, ja-JP, ko-KR, pt-BR, etc.) but Turkish (tr-TR) is missing.
Additionally, the Fathom companion mascot has hardcoded English personality strings with no i18n support.
What I'd like
- Turkish (tr-TR) locale file added to Claude Code's
resources/directory alongside existing locale JSONs - Fathom companion personality strings externalized to locale files so they can be localized
- UI strings (menus, prompts, status messages) translated to Turkish
Why
Turkey has a growing developer community actively using Claude Code. Turkish language support would make the tool more accessible and improve the developer experience for Turkish-speaking users.
Current behavior
- Claude Code locale files:
de-DE, en-US, en-XA, en-XB, es-419, es-ES, fr-FR, hi-IN, id-ID, it-IT, ja-JP, ko-KR, pt-BR— notr-TR - Fathom companion personality is hardcoded in
.claude.jsonsettings, not subject to i18n - Only a basic
tr.pakexists in Chromium layer, but no application-level Turkish strings
Environment
- Claude Code v2.1.92
- Windows 11 Pro
- PowerShell terminal
