Q: Different names in different languages
I speak multiple languages. In 2 of 3 I go by my birth name, but in the third I use a nickname that's easier to pronounce in that language. I switch my Siri back and forth between languages as needed, but the problem is that she only knows me by my birth name. So when I speak to her in the language where I use a nickname, she still replies to me using my birth name and I find it really jarring (especially since she pronounces it wrong when she's speaking that language). Can I teach her to call me different names in different languages? Or can I at least correct her pronunciation only in that one language? (Her pronunciation of my name is fine in my other two languages, it's just that one where she says it wrong, so I don't know that the phonetic pronunciation thing would solve the problem.)
