Description
Conversation/session titles are automatically generated in English even when the language setting is configured to "japanese" in ~/.claude/settings.json.
Configuration
settings.json:
{
"language": "japanese",
...
}
CLAUDE.md also explicitly instructs:
- 日本語でのコミュニケーションを基本とする
- 会話のタイトル(件名)も必ず日本語で生成すること
- 英語のタイトルは使わない
Current Behavior
- Responses within conversations are correctly in Japanese
- However, auto-generated conversation titles in the sidebar are often in English
- Examples of English titles that should be Japanese:
- "Review past project experiences"
- "Auto-update monthly form options da..."
- "Add user authentication to web applic..."
Expected Behavior
When language is set to "japanese", conversation titles should also be generated in Japanese.
Environment
- Platform: macOS (Darwin 25.3.0)
- Claude Code (Desktop app)
