Hear hear; I'm using Siri to set timers, turn off alarms - everything else without a proper support for my native language is useless.

It's been nearly 12 years and the supported language list is still the same.

The voice and text AIs such as Whisper and ChatGPT are generally multi-lingual, albeit their quality with anything other than English is not the same.

In theory at least it should be straightforward to make LLM-based assistants like Siri truly multilingual.

Honest question: why though? If someone uses a language other than English on their phone, the feature is quite literally useless to them, isn't it? I don't get why they're "self centered" for saying so.

I think it's quite telling that one of the main new features of the new iPhones won't even be available until next year for most of the world.

because obviously its coming and its not a huge technical lift at all. transformers were born to do translation. its just impatient and a waste of space complaining about how we know the world works for already very good if unfair reasons.
