Ya but who cares about Google?
Well, I hope at least Apple cares about their biggest competitor on the market.
I find it funny they are expanding AI to so many languages, but won’t start on my systems because I have Siri set to English (Irish).
Not that I’m complaining, any level of block I can use to keep that s*** from landing on my devices is good by me. It strikes me as funny though that it will support, Japanese, but not English with a bit of an accent.

French? German? Italian? Portuguese? Spanish? Japanese? Korean? Chinese?
Don't get too excited, you aren't missing much!

Time has changed. Their AI didn't work out as a major selling point so it also lost it's use as an angle for blackmail.
Actually, according to Apple's earning results, it is a major selling point.

The US is one of these countries that already have Apple Intelligence. I dare to say it has nothing to do with AI and more with the fact that Apple is a local company + my understanding is that the US has a lot of deals where you can upgrade every year
Android phones have all the bells and whistles Apple is reluctant to give in ALL EUROPEAN languages.
That's the interesting thing about translations, idiomatic phrasing.
I'd translate it :
About damn time
My favorite is when someone clearly isn't conversant in the language being translated but is doing literal translations:
But that was also damn again time.
Watching subtitled movies can get really annoying because unless the translator understands the context and slang you wind up with gibberish; and even native speakers have trouble with regional idioms or dialect.
For example, try explain 'bad' to someone not familiar with it.
Now, if Apple AI could just recognize patterns in texts and could block certain ones my spam would go down from folks faking the from number to avoid number blocks.
Well, I'd say it is because noone can understand what you are saying
I've studied German for 9 years but Schwiizertüütsch 🤯
I had a professor from Switzerland who once spent the first five minutes of one of our German classes speaking entirely in Schweizerdeutsch. The entire class was fluent in German, but might as well have been fluent in Dutch for those five minutes - no one had any idea what he was saying 😂Well, I'd say it is because noone can understand what you are saying

Off topic, but this is SO annoying. I get angry at certain shows and movies with how bad the translations are. (Only thing that's worse - having two characters from another country speaking to each other in English with an accent - I'd rather have bad subtitles than that).
On the other hand, when they do it properly it's great. Recently watched the new Day of the Jackal show - it has a lot of scenes in German and the subtitles were perfekt. Not literally translated; it was clear care had gone into them.

Heck, even the Swiss can't understand each other. When I worked in Zurich it took me a while to understand the local dialect, and when I spoke in Wienerish with friends no one understood us.
Which is a challenge for AI translation, a lot of language is dialect and slang, which is hard and often not the same area to area where teh same language is spoken; fanny or torch for example in UK vs US English.
Ye but people would choose to use Google’s AI feature (via app) over Apple intelligence no matter how integrated AI it is for iOS iPadOS and macOS. It’s always a good feeling using your native language for these kind of stuff.
In short, the silent majority cares.
They're pretty mediocre at large.
But then the Notification Summary was so faulty that Apple has postponed it globally, I believe.
I doubt anyone will be impressed unless they haven't touched AI before. But, for Apple, I guess it's a start.
You can start a conversation with ChatGPT in any language and it responds without any issues. Apple should step up their game and end this nonsensical language limitation in the AI era.
No, Switzerland will not be left out. It is already available in Switzerland if you switch to English. With 18.4 you will also be able to use it with German, French and Italian.
I think in Switzerland you already have Apple Intelligence as long as you set Siri to a supported language. If you set Siri to English it should activate Apple Intelligence already.
