Feature Request: UI Localization / Japanese Language Support
Summary:
The left sidebar label "Recents" (and other UI labels) should be displayed in Japanese when the system language is set to Japanese.
Current behavior:
All UI labels in Claude Code are in English regardless of the OS language setting.
Expected behavior:
UI labels such as "Recents" in the left sidebar should be localized to Japanese (e.g., 「最近」 or 「履歴」) when the system language is Japanese.
User environment:
- macOS (Japanese)
- Claude Code desktop app
Additional context:
Japanese users would benefit from a localized UI. At minimum, the left sidebar labels should follow the OS language setting.
