Problem Statement

When using Claude Code in Japanese, session titles in the history panel are always generated in English — even when the entire conversation is in Japanese.

Example:

  • User message: 「このパソコンのFinder内のダウンロードの場所にあるファイルやフォルダを種類ごとに分けて整理して」
  • Generated title: "Organize Downloads folder by file type"

The date group labels (本日 / 昨日 / 古い順) already respect the system locale, but the title generation does not. This inconsistency is confusing for non-English speakers.

Claude.ai generates session titles in the conversation language — Claude Code should do the same.

Proposed Solution

Update the session title generation prompt to detect the language of the conversation and produce the title in that language, rather than always defaulting to English.
