Read the story

Apple’s 27.2 software releases added French, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese and Spanish to the languages supported by its Siri AI beta. The expansion was announced on October 26.

Language support does not mean universal access: Apple requires an Apple Intelligence-compatible device configured in a supported language, and says the feature remains unavailable on iOS and iPadOS in the European Union. Traditional Chinese, Norwegian, Turkish and Vietnamese are scheduled to follow by year’s end.
