There is some text in Chinese that cursor tab sometimes suggests in code comments and markdown files. It doesn’t happen often.
I don’t see a setting for language in Cursor. Only the display language in VSCode. Also it’s not clear that currsorrules control cursor tab suggestions as it says they are for chat and composer.
Will cursor tab respect a rule that says don’t ever show me text suggestions that are not in English ?
Hi @isimmons
This bug pops up sometimes. I’ve also run into it when I get suggestions in Korean. It’s rare, but it happens.
I just opened a README.md file and hit ‘enter’ to the next line and this shows up.
So I asked chat about it and here is what it says.
The word “デプロイ” is in Japanese. It translates to English as:
Deployment
The reason your cursor tab is suggesting this Japanese word is likely because:
- The file you’re editing (README.md) already contains this Japanese heading.
- Your development environment or text editor might have some form of autocomplete or suggestion feature that recognizes content from the current file or project.
The presence of this Japanese heading in an otherwise English document suggests that this project might be intended for a Japanese audience or is part of a multilingual documentation. However, for consistency, it’s generally better to keep the entire README in one language unless you’re specifically creating a multilingual document.
If you want to keep the document in English, you might want to change this heading to “# Deployment” to match the rest of the content.
There is no heading in the file as you can see in the image.
This time it is Japanese. I think it might be related to the fact that this is a ‘Hono’ api server project. Last time I saw something like this (yesterday in another project) it was Chinese.
I tried using the cursor rules and it does not affect cursor tab suggestions. It would be nice to have rules also apply there.
Yeah, Cursor rules don’t apply to Cursor Tab right now.
