What's Wrong?

When a conversation reaches the context limit and Claude Code compacts it, the assistant forgets the language in which the conversation was being conducted and switches back to English, even if the entire conversation was in another language (e.g., Spanish).

What Should Happen?

  1. Start a conversation with Claude Code in a non-English language (e.g., Spanish).
  2. Continue the conversation until the context is compacted.
  3. Observe that Claude Code's next response is in English instead of the original language.
