Add a language preference setting for AI-generated commit messages

Feature request for product/service

Cursor CLI

Describe the request

Current Behavior:
When using the “Review” → “Commit” flow or clicking the “Generate Commit Message” button in the Source Control view, the AI consistently generates the commit message in English.

The Problem:
Many developers need to write commit messages in their native language (e.g., Korean) to match their team’s conventions. Currently, adding a prompt like “Always write commit messages in Korean” to the Cursor Settings (Rules) does not work, as the commit message generator seems to bypass or ignore these general instructions.

Proposed Solution:
Please add a dedicated setting to specify the target language for AI-generated commit messages. A simple dropdown menu or a custom prompt input field in the settings specifically for the “Generate Commit Message” feature would be incredibly helpful for non-English speaking teams.
