Defect Report: /review Command Does Not Respect CLI Language Setting

Title: /review command outputs terminal messages in English regardless of selected CLI language

Severity: Minor

Component: qwen-code - Skills

Description:
When a user selects a non-English language via the /language command in qwen-code, the /review skill still outputs
all terminal messages in English. The language setting is not being respected by the code review skill.

Steps to Reproduce:
 1. Open qwen-code
 2. Set a non-English language using /language command for both UI and output (e.g., /language ru for Russian)
 3. Run the /review command with any valid arguments
 4. Observe the terminal output

Expected Behavior:
All terminal output from the /review command (status messages, summaries, findings, etc.) should be displayed in the
 user's selected language.

Actual Behavior:
All terminal output is displayed in English, ignoring the language preference set via /language.

Impact:
Users who prefer to interact with the CLI in their native language receive inconsistent experience - while the main
CLI respects their language choice, the /review skill does not, creating a fragmented localization experience.

Environment:
 - qwen-code version: 0.14.4
 - OS: macOS (darwin)

Additional Notes:
This appears to be a localization propagation issue where the language setting from the main CLI context is not
being passed to or honored by the bundled review skill.

What did you expect to happen?

respect /language output / ui language when perform /review skill
