We’ve been married for more than five years and in all that time, whenever she would send me a message in Japanese while I was out and about with my headphones in, Siri would just say “(wife) just sent you a message I can’t read” and be done with it.

Today, for the first time ever, the Siri voice switched over to Japanese mode and actually read the message. Starting with English and ending in Japanese, Siri said, "(wife) just sent “牛乳も買って来て”.

I’m so elated over this change. It’s such a small thing, but HUGE. I just thought it was cool and though it worth sharing.

    Does it work if she sends a message partly in English and partly in Japanese?

      Yeah I’m curious how well spanglish would work. At least the characters are the same vs latin to kanji.
