+### Task 6: Remove language from transcription edit flow
+- Removed language select from `editTranscription()` model form in configure_transcription.go
+- Model form now only shows model selection (no language picker)
+- Added `effectiveLanguage` calculation: `cfg.Transcription.Language || cfg.General.Language`
+- Language validation still happens using effective language before saving
+- Updated error message to point users to Language menu: "Change language to 'Auto-detect' in the Language menu"
+- Only `cfg.Transcription.Model` saved now, not language
+- `cfg.Transcription.Language` can still be used as manual override but not set via TUI
+- All tests passing, typecheck passes
