Q: Watch message reply received in English but replies in a Asian language. I verified general/keyboard setting on the phone. I also verified English in watch setting. How to stop watch from send Asian language replies?
Watch reply messages keep send Asian language replies from the watch. I verify keyboard setting was set to English in iPhone (general/keyboard) and verified via the watch app that English language is set in language. How do I stop the watch from replying to Asian language ?
Apple Watch, iOS 9.3.2

The default language for any given conversation in Messages is set to the same language as the active keyboard on your iPhone (in Messages) for that particular conversation. When you change the keyboard language for that conversation on your iPhone, it also changes on your Apple Watch.
To change the language for any given conversation on your iPhone (and also on your watch):
- Lock your iPhone (press the Sleep / Wake button briefly).
- Open the conversation with that contact on your watch and tap on Reply.
- On your iPhone, press the Sleep / Wake button briefly to display the Lock screen.
- Towards the lower left corner of the Lock screen, swipe up on the Messages icon (where Handoff icons appear).
- This will open that conversation in Messages on your iPhone.
- Tap the globe symbol by the space bar on the iPhone keyboard and choose your preferred keyboard language.
- To add international keyboards, on your iPhone first go to: Settings > General > Keyboard > Keyboards > Add New Keyboard.
- Start typing a reply on your iPhone (one or more characters), then delete it (this sets the keyboard language choice for that conversation).
- On your watch, in the Messages app: Cancel out of the reply screen.
- Start a new reply on your watch within that conversation - the new language will now be used for dictation and quick replies within that conversation.
