Is there a way to set up HomePod to respond in multiple languages?

I’m an English native speaker, and my wife speaks Russian. We want to know if it's possible to set up a home pod to respond to both languages

Thanks @ Ikrupp; however, the plan is not to change language but to add extra language whereby we can both communicate or make our request either in English or Russian. Currently siri can only support one language at a time and should you want to talk to it in another language without changing it from the settings, Siri can't respond.

iOS update 15.2 included extra languages for Siri which included Russian, and that is available as an option for HomePod Mini by the following actions:

To make a language choice see Change HomePod settings:

In the Home app on your iOS or iPadOS device touch and hold a HomePod or Siri-enabled accessory.

Scroll down, tap

then tap Language, then tap an option.

However, only one language choice is available in this setting for HomePod.

Perhaps give Apple some feedback for having multiple languages.
