Research direction

Start at the /chat dictation flow on macOS and determine how the current transcription language is selected. The issue names no files or tests, so first map the existing dictation path and clarify which languages and selection behavior are expected. Done means non-English dictation is transcribed correctly, with the supported behavior verified on macOS.
