Dictation languages

when answering what’s app messages I’m choosing ‘Russian’ language for dictation, there is an option but it doesn’t work. For example, the Russian dictation is working for iMessage normally.

Reading iMessages using CarPlay - Multi Language Support I doubt there is anyone but Apple that can solve that problem, hopefully in iOS14 in 2020. This is more of a new feature request. I use English as my OS language on all my Apple devices but live in Germany now. When driving and using CarPlay the system reads out all iMessages as if they were sent in English. I get messages in multiple languages. Can't you guys make iOS identify the language the message was sent in and read it in the proper pronunciation? At times it is actually a pretty funny game to play, but most times you actually just want to know what the message really said. A similar problem is when using dictation and using English to pronounce a German, French, or Italian place name. Can't you make the system understand these names in proper native pronunciation even when the standard OS language is set to another language? It probably requires a lot of local computational support. Look at it as another way to sell more new iPhones if the older ones lack the computational horsepower. :-) If anybody else has this feature request it would be great if they would step forward. Perhaps we can convince Apple to do something about this. Best Regards - Manfred

If WhatsApp is the only place where this doesn't work, you need to contact the people who make that app
