Default dictation language

iOS 16 keeps reverting to Spanish, which is the secondary language on the keyboard settings. Am I stupid or is there no way to adjust the default?

iOS 18.5: Cannot switch dictation languages Problem: if you have bilingual keyboards configured (EN- UK, DE-DE in my case) you cannot switch to the second language when using microphone input. https://youtube.com/shorts/aHDB6_w2j7I?si=7AN8iUv-Z1Ut1g72 Irrespective of which keyboard you select, dictation reverts to the first. Context: Verified in different messages apps and Apple notes in iOS 18.5 Work around: Delete the bilingual keyboards in your settings and create individual keyboards, rejecting the suggestion to turn them into bilingual. Remark: I could never figure why Apple can’t hear the difference between the two languages and adjust automatically. Not even Apple Intelligence can auto-detect. Very frustrating.

I cannot switch between dictation languages on iPadOS 16.2 Apple update/upgrade diseases iPadOS 16.2 (worked until 15.7.2 at least) Accessibility features: Onscreen keyboard After pressing the microphone button: Dictation time-period for German is only three seconds, after these three seconds, English drops in and writes, what the system has phonetically understood of my German words, but in English. Result is mixed sentence: first some German words, then English. Somewhere in Apple documentation this time-period was specified to last for 30 seconds. Cannot switch between dictation languages (English to German and back) by toggling the microphone button. Furthermore: Saying "zoom down" has the same effect as saying "Zoom up" (minor problem) IPad does not react on command "hey siri", sometimes it is after saying "lock screen" On some websites it does happen that saying "scroll Down" does not [scroll Down] Reboot out of the blue Favorites in safari are sorted in an own -let's say apple specific - way, but for the normal one definitely not sorted This is a short description with minimal use case information. Further information will be provided if desired. Proposal: introduction of a new descriptive tag for every update: "renders the system un-/usable" I thought with Version 16.2 beta testing is over.

Does it do Spanish when you have made English the active keyboard via the Globe key?
