[FEATURE] Session titles should be generated in the user's language (re-opening #33546, #35243, #35799)

Problem
Session titles in the sidebar are always auto-generated in English, even when:
settings.jsonhas"language": "ja"configuredCLAUDE.mdinstructs to respond in Japanese- The entire conversation is conducted in Japanese
This is especially painful for users with many sessions — scanning through English titles to find a Japanese conversation is inefficient.
Previously Reported (all closed without fix)
- #33546 (original, closed as stale)
- #35243 (closed as duplicate)
- #35799 (closed as duplicate)
Re-filing per the auto-close message: "Please open a new issue if this is still relevant."
Expected Behavior
Generate session titles in the language of the conversation, or respect the language setting in settings.json.
Workaround Request
A /rename slash command would also help as an interim solution.
