Describe the Bug
itle: Chat dictation (Ctrl+M) has no Czech option — Czech speech is transcribed as garbage Polish
Cursor version: 3.17.21 (please paste exact string from Help > About Cursor > Copy)
OS: Windows 10 Pro 22H2, build 19045.6466
System locale: cs-CZ, only Czech keyboard layout installed (00000405)
Problem:
I speak Czech into the chat dictation (microphone icon / Ctrl+M in the chat
input). The text that appears in the input box is not Czech. It comes out as
nonsensical Polish. For example, I said “mluvím na tebe česky” and the input
box showed “Mówimy na temat.”
Before a recent update, Czech speech was at least transcribed into English,
which was usable. Now it produces Polish nonsense, which is not usable at all.
Root cause as far as I can tell:
The voice input language list in the “Voice settings” dropdown next to the
microphone offers only these 26 locales:
da-DK, de-DE, en-AU, en-CA, en-GB, en-IE, en-IN, en-NZ, en-US, es-ES, es-MX,
fr-CA, fr-FR, hi-IN, it-IT, ja-JP, ko-KR, nl-NL, pt-PT, pt-BR, ru-RU, sv-SE,
tr-TR, zh-CN, zh-HK, zh-TW
Czech (cs-CZ) is not in the list, and neither is Polish. The stored setting
defaults to en-US, so my Czech audio is sent to the transcription backend with
an English language hint, and the model returns Polish-looking gibberish.
Request:
Please add Czech (cs-CZ) to the voice input language list. Slovak (sk-SK)
and Polish (pl-PL) are missing too and would help other users in the region.
Alternatively, please add an “Auto-detect” option so the backend can detect
the spoken language instead of assuming en-US.
As a stopgap, please expose the voice input language as a normal setting in
settings.json so users can set an arbitrary locale code, instead of it being
limited to the hardcoded dropdown list.
