Hi, I live in France and I have an appleTV with the Siri remote. Now, siri on the appleTV seems "locked" with French as the input language. Can I change JUST the siri language to English (without needing to change the region and app store settings)??
Thanks
Apple TV, iOS 9.3.5, Siri
I'm having the exact same problem. In fact, the french version of Siri on Apple TV doesn't properly understand any english artist's name. Ex. "joue-moi un album de Beth Hart" becomes "joue-moi un album de baisse Arthes" or "bête Arthes"...

Unfortunately, you can only use the languages supported at your store which will be listed under the siri language settings (settings > general)
If you have any suggestions that you think might enhance the Apple TV you can send Apple your feedback here
I'm pretty sure the answer is no. Siri is designed to integrate with the iTunes Store. If you are connected to the French iTunes Store the content will be listed in French, and Siri will want to be listening for French. I had to change my store to France to get French as the only option whereas when it is set to the UK I get four variations on English for Siri (UK, US, Canadian, & Australian).
That said, while Siri was set to French it managed to make sense of "Open settings". 😕

Thanks both for the info...what I find odd is that on my iPhone and iPad I can choose whichever Siri language I want while still remaining logged in to the French AppStore/iTunes...I thought the same applied to the AppleTV.
I understand the store content problem but if I want to call up a movie on Netflix (which lists movie names in English even in France) or even an artist on Apple Music I'm having a really hard time in making myself clear to my French Siri...I guess it expects a French accent? 😉
Siri needs updating to Franglais. 😉
Siri on the Apple TV is mostly focused on the store whereas on other devices it has a wider remit including the web, however this does seem a little too limiting. I'd use that feedback link provided above.

thanks again. Just posted a feedback as you suggested!
You're welcome. 🙂

Siri on the Apple TV uses a different database to the one on your phone and is much younger in terms of development. I don't wish to speculate but there are a lot of languages not yet available for the Apple TV and they want to develop 'missing' languages before expanding existing options.
Multiple languages for Siri on AppleTV?
