Sweet. The foundation is there. I hope they’ll soon add it for other languages as well. Being a native Dutch speaker, I hate using electronics in Dutch. Everything sounds so silly. So naturally, my phone is set to English (traditional). But now I can’t tell my phone to navigate me to a street with a Dutch street name without it having a stroke.

You’re telling me you don’t like putting on on your most ridiculously offensive Yeehaw Hollywood American accent when asking your phone to set a timer?

So now Siri can give you the wrong answer in two languages at once!
