Cursor confusing Japanese and Javanese

Open daiki99s opened this issue 10 months ago • 0 comments

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 / Windows / Linux – choose one] • Cursor version: [latest / version number if available] • Pro user: Yes ✅

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.
