With the iOS 17 public beta now available, Apple has added support for Siri to understand bilingual queries.
public beta and a reissued build of developer beta 3 now available, Apple has added a very important feature to its personal assistant: supporting bilingual queries. Although the company is at least five years late to this party, it’s great to see the Cupertino firm really expanding Siri’s capabilities.. The publication explains that, for now, iOS 17 beta adds support for bilingual queries to Siri starting with select Indic languages.
Although many US users won’t notice this, it’s very frustrating to ask a question for Siri and have to use a term in Portuguese, Spanish, or whatever. This is especially painful if your primary language isn’t English. For example, if I set my Siri to American English and asked the personal assistant to read a message a friend sent me, I would get the worst Brazilian Portuguese I would have ever heard. On the other hand, if I set my Siri language to Brazilian Portuguese, I cannot ask it to play my favorite artists or songs because it’s not able to understand an American accent.
With this iOS 17 beta build, Apple is giving the first steps to change that for good. While the company is starting with English and Hindi, it doesn’t mean it can’t expand from English and Spanish, Portuguese and Spanish, and so on. Once Apple can expand this Siri capability, I’m sure many users will feel more comfortable using it more often – and it would make many people enjoy the features
