Siri Will Start Supporting Mandarin Chinese, Japanese, and Russian Next Month

The Chinese tech site DoNews claims to have heard from an Apple engineer who’s working on the Chinese-language version of Siri, the clever voice assistant on the iPhone 4S. From this source it claims that Siri will launch in Chinese next month, and is already undergoing internal testing this month. [...]
The rumor also contends that the Chinese version will only support the standard Mandarin (aka: putonghua) Chinese, which would leave out Cantonese-speaking people, as well as some Taiwan folk who effectively speak in a different dialect. Plus, it alleges that Japanese and Russian will arrive next month as well.


As you know, Siri currently supports English (United States, United Kingdom and Australia), French, and German but Apple has promised to bring support to apanese, Chinese, Korean, Italian, and Spanish before the end of 2012.
The support of the Chinese language this soon shows how much Apple is giving high priority to such a strong growth market. Japan is also another key market for Apple as the iPhone 4S was debuted there as part of the first round of launches in mid-October.
Although Apple didn’t bet high on Russia. However, Russia, Brazil, India, and China is thought to be one of the world’s up-and-coming economies where Apple of course would like to gain momentum. The iPhone 4S launched there in mid-December.
