Feature Request

What: Add a language configuration option for the Flogger buddy/companion turtle that appears beside the input box.

Why: Currently Flogger only speaks English. Users who work in other languages (e.g., Russian) and have their assistant configured to respond in their native language (CLAUDE.md: "Всегда отвечай на русском языке") expect the buddy to follow the same language setting.

Proposed solution:

  • Option A: Flogger respects the language from CLAUDE.md instructions (e.g., "Всегда отвечай на русском языке")
  • Option B: Add a buddyLanguage field in ~/.claude/settings.json
  • Option C: Flogger auto-detects the assistant's response language and matches it

Current behavior: Flogger always speaks English regardless of user's language preferences.

Expected behavior: Flogger speaks the same language as the main assistant.

extent analysis

TL;DR

Implementing a language configuration option for the Flogger buddy to match the user's preferred language is likely to resolve the issue.

Guidance

  • Consider implementing Option A, which respects the language from CLAUDE.md instructions, as it leverages existing configuration settings.
  • Evaluate the feasibility of Option B, adding a buddyLanguage field in ~/.claude/settings.json, for a more explicit language setting.
  • Assess the complexity of implementing Option C, auto-detecting the assistant's response language, as it may require additional natural language processing capabilities.
  • Verify the implementation by testing the Flogger buddy with different language settings in CLAUDE.md or ~/.claude/settings.json.

Notes

The best approach depends on the existing architecture and technical constraints of the Flogger and CLAUDE systems.

Recommendation

Apply workaround by implementing Option A, as it seems to be the most straightforward solution that leverages existing configuration settings.
