HomePod language mismatch

I have just bought a HomePod in a Spanish Apple Store (where I also live), to bring home to Ireland. When I ask Siri about my calendar, I get the reply “ Before I can answer that, the language on the iPhone and HomePod need to match.” Both my iPhone X and the HomePod are set to UK English.

Can anyone help?

if this is some silly regional problem the device is useless to me. Both countries are part of the EU.

iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2017), macOS Mojave (10.14.1)

Here is how you fix the issue.

Open settings on your IPhone -> go to Siri & Search -> under “Ask Siri,” take note of what your settings are.

Next, go to your Home app and in the top right corner tap the “edit” icon. You accessories will begin to shake. From your accessories select your HomePod. Scroll down to “Siri” and change your language preferences to what was on your IPhone. Make sure personal requests is on and you’re good to go
