The new English autocorrect in iOS and iPadOS 17 truly is one of the unsung heroes of these software updates.

I've been writing entire blog posts for @macstories on my iPad and iPhone using the software keyboard and have *enjoyed* doing it in a way that wasn't the case since, I don't know, 2012?

The new system is incredibly good and I hope it expands to more languages soon.

@viticci Tangentially related, but it would be great if Siri accommodated true multilingual support. I have Messages threads in French and English, and Siri just can’t switch to announcing my texts in French from those threads (it comes out horribly unintelligible) while Messages knows to change my keyboard over to French for those threads.

@stevemint @viticci yep receiving text messages in French with CarPlay is atrocious. iOS already knows I have conversations in French with them through the keyboard but Siri still reads the messages in English

@stevemint @viticci This!

I mix Dutch and English 90% of the time. It’s a very poor experience.

Also: with Siri in Dutch on HomePods: good luck asking it to play some song with an English title 😅

@stevemint @viticci additionally voice input on Siri is simply not possible in more than one language.
