How to make Siri Recognize Artist Names or song titles in a foreign language?
Dear community specialists,
the primary language setting for my Macs, iPhone, and the Home Pods is English. But the music collection in my iTunes Library is from many different countries and in many different languages - mostly German, Italian, Spanish, French, Russian, not only in English. Siri rarely understands the names of the artists or the albums, if they are not in English. When I ask for songs from a German artist, the results are funny, but very disappointing. So far, I found two workarounds to be able to ask Siri for the songs in a foreign language:
- I create a playlist with an English name and ask Siri on the Home Pod to play it.
- I play a song from the album or the artist in the foreign language and ask Siri to tell me the name. Then I try to mimic Siri's mangled pronounciation.
Both work-around are not very satisfactory. How are we supposed to use a multi-lingual iTunes Library with our HomePods? Is there a way to teach Siri on the HomePod how to pronounce the artist names and album correctly?
Are there any plans to make Siri polyglott ?
