Fix Action

Fix / Workaround

Workaround Request

A /rename slash command would also help as an interim solution.

Problem

Session titles in the sidebar are always auto-generated in English, even when:

  • settings.json has "language": "ja" configured
  • CLAUDE.md instructs to respond in Japanese
  • The entire conversation is conducted in Japanese

This is especially painful for users with many sessions — scanning through English titles to find a Japanese conversation is inefficient.

Previously Reported (all closed without fix)

  • #33546 (original, closed as stale)
  • #35243 (closed as duplicate)
  • #35799 (closed as duplicate)

Re-filing per the auto-close message: "Please open a new issue if this is still relevant."

Expected Behavior

Generate session titles in the language of the conversation, or respect the language setting in settings.json.

Workaround Request

A /rename slash command would also help as an interim solution.

Environment

  • Claude Code 2.1.92
  • macOS / Windows 11

extent analysis

TL;DR

The session title generation issue may be resolved by implementing a language-aware title generation mechanism that respects the language setting in settings.json or the conversation language.

Guidance

  • Investigate the session title generation code to identify where the language setting is being ignored or overridden.
  • Consider adding a feature to generate session titles based on the conversation language or the language setting in settings.json.
  • Implementing a /rename slash command as a temporary workaround could provide users with a way to manually set session titles in their preferred language.
  • Review the closed issues (#33546, #35243, #35799) to see if any relevant information or code changes were discussed that could inform the solution.

Example

No code snippet is provided as the issue does not contain sufficient technical details to create a specific example.

Notes

The solution may require changes to the Claude Code base, and it is unclear if this is a configuration issue or a code bug. The fact that previous issues were closed without a fix suggests that this may be a complex problem.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Implementing a /rename slash command as an interim solution would provide users with a way to manually set session titles in their preferred language, addressing the immediate pain point while a more permanent solution is developed.
