As I am multilingual I get messages in several languages which get announce / read out on my AirPods by SIRI as if they are all plain English resulting in gobbledygook. Surely by now there is a solution to this issue?

Hi nandoflipse,
Thanks for contacting Apple Support Communities!
We understand that you'd like to have Siri read for you in German and Dutch, correct?
If so, you can change Siri's language as outlined here: Change Siri voice or language - Apple Support
On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
Go to Settings > Siri & Search.
Tap Language to change the language that Siri uses for requests and responses.
Tap Siri Voice to change the voice that Siri speaks.
To hear spoken responses from Siri on your device, tap Settings > Siri & Search > Siri Responses.
We hope this helps.
Cheers!
That is correct nandoflipse,
You want to ensure Siri Responses is set to the primary language that you wish Siri to use. It cannot read out responses in multiple languages, but it can do one.

Well then how do you make it so that it doesn’t read out messages in languages that isn’t the primary language.
Mostly everyone these days is at least bilingual. And IMessage already automatically selects the correct autocorrect language when I am typing a message, so surely it is not that difficult to differentiate between the primary language and another language.
Hello nandoflipse,
It appears you are wanting to suggest that Apple add a feature to Siri to detect and read messages based on the language.
Since these forums are users helping other users, the best way to do that is to provide feedback to them here: Product Feedback - Apple
Have a good day.
Indeed, Siri should read the text in the language it was send in.
In these settings I can only change the language, not add languages.
Thank you
