A Siri function makes it possible to announce notifications, although it can be more effective when sending us messages in other languages if we make the correct setting
There is a interesting feature within the iPhone that could be useful in case you receive different messages in different languages. Normally, Siri can announce calls and read any type of messages when we use a pair of AirPods, headphones and Bluetooth speakers, also when we are connected to CarPlay. If we have a language configured (like Spanish) and we They send a message in English, can Siri read it?
Siri can announce messages to us in languages other than ours
Siri makes the best attempt to try to read the original language of a notification, however it is not the best option. Thanks to iOS 18 it is possible to add other languages so that Siri can read appropriately. And it is even better when we know that we can receive messages in more than two languages, Siri becomes versatile and regardless of whether our iPhone is configured in a single language, it makes it possible to understand at first glance what they are communicating to us.
The support of reading messages in other languages is incredible as it is offered a complete variety that covers practically everyone:
- Español
- English
- Arabic
- German
- Chino
- Korean
- Danish
- Dutch
- Finnish
- Hebrew
- Italian
- Japanese
- Far away
- Norwegian (Bokmal)
- portuguese
- Russian
- Swedish
- Thai
- Turco

You must have enough storage space to add languages. If you no longer need a language you can swipe left on one of the added languages and confirm Delete.
What is the difference between adding languages and stay with the system default? The only drawback is that you will not have an accurate reading of the message as Siri tries to adapt to the language it detects then. The pronunciation can differ on many occasions, so you may not be able to fully understand when they send you a relevant message in another language. Have you ever wondered how many notifications you receive per day? So you can know it.
