General Siri English but German Text-to-Speech

[foxs]

Hi there,

I currently set my Siri to US-English language. I like it a lot more to
talk to her in english. She definitely understands way more and it somehow
works better.

But all my SMS, Mails, etc. are in German. So I want here to read the
Messages and Texts in German and I also want to dictate the Messages
in German.

Is there a way to work that out? I couldn't find anything in the settings.


Thanks in advance.
Marcel

Marcel -

I don't think its possible to do as you ask - you can highlight text and get the system to read what you have selected using Text To Speech (Accessibility -> Speak Selection) and you could select German there, but to get the Siri interface in English but to read texts etc in German I don't think is possible.

Okay thanks. That helps. I think then it's also not possible to dictate in German, right?

I think that's right.
