Finally, those in the UK will be able to change your region, voice and keyboard settings from English (US) to English (UK). And if you are in China, you probably aren't reading this anyway.

I was thinking of you when I saw this.

Although I don't know if Microsoft includes Ireland with the UK as a region (like Canada and US are included together as N. America?) Or are you in Northern Ireland?

It's about damn time. I have beef with all these companies (not just MS but Google too) taking months just to release online services outside the US. It's not like there's physical limitations to making a voice app available worldwide.
