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?

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.

i'm having the same issue too. i have three keyboards setup on my iPhone, Gboard (English), Emoji and Chinese (Simplified).

Every time I use quick reply on my apple watch, the reply language defaults to Chinese. And I need to force touch my watch to change the language to English.

I also made sure that the keyboards in their respective apps in my iPhone are set to Gboard (english).

Is there a problem for watch OS to recognize 3rd party iPhone keyboards?

Hi

On your Apple Watch, after tapping on Reply, press firmly on the screen, then tap on Choose Language to select a different language for your reply (including dictation).
