Language Support

[Mazenat]

Hi,

So I live in Middle East, and i'm planning to preorder an iPhone 4S through a friend. I may consider UK or Canada since they sell officially unlocked phones.

I was wondering, will it support the other languages, (mainly Arabic)?

Yes you can change the language it is set to. However Siri (Voice Control) will only work in American, UK or Australian English

They also announced "More coming soon".

I meant writing in Arabic. So, can I write and read in Arabic?

As for Siri I am confident that it would be in English. Arabic language is just so complicated ...

Another question from me, will siri be capable of understanding non-english names in contacts? Or type stuff we say other than english

for example: Text emir that gec kalacagim. (means text emir that i will be late)

i hope it at least understands the names, i am however not expecting for it to understand the full text.

I think it understands the pronunciation of the names, but not the foriegn text, just like most of other voice-recognition programs
