Match Siri language on iPhone and HomePod

Hopefully you know the answer to the first question I asked. See Change the language on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support to check, and if necessary change the language and region of your iPhone and iPad so that they align. Given that HomePod has only been released in the US, UK, and Australia so far, setting it up elsewhere may cause problems. Several people have reported issues with the time being out by varying amounts, and that news services don't work. Weather reporting seems to be OK.

What happens if you go the other way and set both to New Zealand? Or perhaps it is complaining the your regional setting doesn't match your physical location, or the store location for your account? 😕

Of course, why would you try changing the settings before you found there was a problem? Just spitballing ideas since I don't have anything concrete to work off. Ah, look under Settings > Siri & Search > Language. Perhaps that is what has to agree with the main device language.

See Reset HomePod - Apple Support and use the power cycle and then hold the top until it beeps three times method to restore the HomePod then try setting it up again.

currently homepod only support english

Where are you in the world? Could regional rather than language settings be confusing things? Is everything set up for the same version of English, i.e. all as English (US) or English (UK) etc.?
