Apple Adds 5 Siri AI Languages in iOS 27.2 as Voice Still Lacks Bilingual Support

Summary
iOS 27.2 expands Siri AI to five more languages—French, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese and Spanish—months after the assistant debuted in beta with iOS 27.
Voice use still works in only one chosen language at a time: users must switch Siri and iPhone language settings manually, and changing languages can require downloading new on-device models.
Typing is more flexible, letting Siri handle some language switching through Translate-supported languages, but requests like translating into Hungarian still fall back to an online search.
That leaves Siri behind ChatGPT and Gemini, which can usually answer instantly across languages without changing device settings—a gap that can hurt music, navigation and calendar tasks for multilingual users.
