Conversation tab title generated in the wrong language (French title for a Czech conversation)
What happened
The auto-generated conversation tab title in the VSCode extension came out in French for a conversation held entirely in Czech.
- My message:
je ticket 313 jeste relevantni?(Czech) - Generated tab title:
Vérifier la pertinence d...(French)
The title-generation step appears to run outside the conversation, so it does not see CLAUDE.md or the conversation language. Here it picked a third language that appears nowhere in the session: neither the user's language (Czech) nor English.
Expected
The tab title should be in the language of the conversation, or at minimum in a consistent, predictable language (e.g. English). It should never be a language that does not appear in the session at all.
Steps to reproduce
- Open the Claude Code VSCode extension.
- Send a short first message in a non-English language (Czech here).
- Look at the generated tab title.
Not deterministic on every run, but recurring with short non-English prompts.
Notes
I could not find any setting that controls the language of generated tab titles. If one exists, it is not discoverable.
Environment
- Claude Code 2.1.232
