Siri translation

[Wando64]

I am bilingual (English/Italian) and after having played with the new Siri Translation function on the AW, I can confirm that it is practically useless.
My advice is: don’t use it unless you are willing to risk ridicule.

I tested Siri translation of Japanese on my iPad and it’s more or less there same as Google translation.

Yes, the Translate app (or Siri) on iPhone and iPad is much better.
I don’t understand why on the watch it is so bad when, in theory, it should be using the same translation engine.

For example, if I try to translate “theatre play” into Italian:
-On the iPad/iPhone it correctly translate as “Spettacolo teatrale”.
- On the AW is translate as “Gioco teatrale di teatro” which literally means = ‘Theatre game of theatre” (i.e. nonsense)
