Why does Siri need to identify a language if it can’t even recognize it correctly?
I’m Filipino, and I was chatting with my sister on iMessage when Siri announced, “[Name] has sent you a message in Indonesian.”
I immediately corrected Siri and said, “Hey Siri, it’s not Indonesian. It’s Tagalog!”
And guess what Siri replied? “I’m sorry, I cannot translate it to Tagalog.”
Seriously?! 😤
Isn’t that annoying? I was actually ****** off. Tagalog is our language, and it’s frustrating when Siri confidently misidentifies it as Indonesian, then admits it can’t even translate it.
If Siri isn’t capable of accurately identifying certain languages, wouldn’t it be better to simply stop announcing the language rather than confidently getting it wrong?
Has anyone else experienced this with Siri and Filipino languages? What do you think?
