Bug Report

Describe the bug

Even though I set Cursor to speak Japanese, it consistently switches to Javanese instead.

This happens every time even though I speak to Cursor in Japanese.
It doesn’t matter if I restart the workspace or open a new file.

It’s a frustrating issue, especially as a Cursor Pro user.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Set the assistant language to Japanese
  2. Start a new chat or reopen a workspace
  3. Assistant replies in Javanese instead of Japanese

Expected behavior

The assistant should respond in Japanese as explicitly set by the user.

Screenshots / Video

N/A – This is a behavior-based bug.

Environment

  • OS: macOS
  • Cursor version: latest
  • Pro user: Yes :white_check_mark:

Additional context

This mix-up between “Japanese” and “Javanese” seems to be a language mapping bug.
Please fix this as soon as possible – it breaks usability for Japanese users.
