Changing the language via the /settings slash command does not save the new value. After selecting a different language and pressing Enter, the change is not persisted — reopening /settings shows the previous value.

Root Cause

Changing the language via the /settings slash command does not save the new value. After selecting a different language and pressing Enter, the change is not persisted — reopening /settings shows the previous value.

Description

Changing the language via the /settings slash command does not save the new value. After selecting a different language and pressing Enter, the change is not persisted — reopening /settings shows the previous value.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Run /settings in an interactive Claude Code session.
  2. Navigate to the language option.
  3. Change the value to a different language.
  4. Press Enter to confirm.
  5. Close /settings and reopen it (or restart the session).

Expected behavior

The selected language is saved and reflected on next open of /settings and in subsequent sessions.

Actual behavior

The change is not saved. Pressing Enter does not persist the new value; the setting reverts to the previous one.

Environment

  • Claude Code version: 2.1.128
  • Platform: macOS (Darwin 25.4.0)
  • Shell: zsh

Notes

Other settings should be checked to see if this is specific to the language field or a broader persistence issue with /settings.

extent analysis

TL;DR

The issue might be related to how the new language value is handled after pressing Enter, suggesting a potential problem with saving or persisting the setting.

Guidance

  • Verify if the issue is specific to the language setting by attempting to change and save other settings via the /settings command to isolate the problem.
  • Check if there are any error messages or warnings displayed after pressing Enter to confirm the language change, which could indicate why the setting is not being saved.
  • Consider testing the language change functionality in a different environment or version of Claude Code to see if the issue is platform or version-specific.
  • Review the documentation or help text for the /settings command to ensure that the language change process is being followed correctly.

Example

No specific code example can be provided without more details on the internal workings of Claude Code or the /settings command.

Notes

The issue might not be limited to the language setting, and checking other settings for similar behavior could reveal a broader issue with the /settings command's ability to persist changes.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Given the information, it's prudent to first verify if the issue is isolated to the language setting or if it's a more general problem with saving settings in Claude Code, before considering any upgrades or more invasive fixes.
