claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix Feature request: Norwegian (Bokmål/Nynorsk) dictation support

Summary

Add Norwegian (Bokmål and Nynorsk) as supported dictation languages in Claude Code voice mode and the Claude mobile app.

Background

Claude Code's /voice feature and the Claude mobile app dictation feature currently support a limited set of languages (English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, and a handful of others per the mobile help center documentation).

Norwegian is supported at production quality by:

• Apple's native speech recognition (macOS, iOS)
• Google Speech-to-Text
• OpenAI Whisper (multilingual model)

The underlying transcription capability exists. This request is for the UI option to be exposed.

Use case

Norwegian-speaking developers and researchers who currently work around this by transcribing in third-party tools (ChatGPT, native OS dictation, or browser extensions) and pasting into Claude. This adds friction for long-form prompts, documentation, and code review contexts where dictation is most valuable.

Personal context: I contribute to Norwegian-language AI safety evaluation in kelkalot/simpleaudit (Simula Research Laboratory, Digital Public Good certified). Three merged PRs adding NAV AAP and Skatteetaten evaluation scenarios in Norwegian (PR #16, #17, #18). Working with Claude in my native language directly would improve quality and reduce context-switching.

Related issues

• #34433 (separate language settings for interface/chat/dictation)
• #37809 (multi-language dictation on Claude Desktop)

This issue is filed as a dedicated tracking thread for Norwegian specifically, since the related issues focus on architectural language-settings questions and multilingual support broadly.

Suggested scope

1. Add nb-NO (Bokmål) and nn-NO (Nynorsk) to the dictation language dropdown in mobile app
2. Add the same to Claude Code /voice language config
3. Documentation update in https://support.claude.com (dictation language list)

Happy to test pre-release builds if useful.
