Hide summary
Apple is expanding the language support of its voice-assisted assistant system, Apple Intelligence, to new languages for users around the world. This major development, scheduled for 2025, will introduce German, Italian, Korean, Portuguese and Vietnamese, strengthening the language offering of this service. Tech enthusiasts will be able to discover and enjoy these new features in the coming months.
A step forward for linguistic diversity
Apple Intelligence will add five additional languages starting in 2025, a crucial update for international users. This integration is in addition to the languages already available:
- Chinese
- French
- Japanese
- Spanish
Thus, thanks to this addition, the tool will be able to be used by an even wider user base, facilitating interaction and productivity for those who do not master English or other languages supported until now. Apple Intelligence now aims to be a universal linguistic companion, capable of adapting to the varied requirements of its users.
The expansion of Apple Intelligence language support won’t be limited to these languages alone. The first version of this intelligent assistant will debut in English in the United States with the iOS 18.1, iPadOS 18.1, and macOS Sequoia 15.1 updates in October. US users will be the first to experience this new iteration and take advantage of its improved performance.
International deployment planned
Apple plans to gradually roll out Apple Intelligence to other English-speaking countries starting in December this year. Countries covered include:
- Australia
- Canada
- New Zealand
- South Africa
- United Kingdom
In 2025, the expansion will continue in other regions with English support in India and Singapore. These users will therefore not have to wait long to benefit from the new features promised by Apple Intelligence, allowing them to stay connected and productive wherever they are.
A temporary brake for Europe and China
Users in Europe and China, however, will have to wait longer before Apple Intelligence rolls out to their regions. Indeed, Apple faces significant regulatory hurdles, particularly due to the Digital Markets Act of the European Union, making access to these markets complex. However, negotiations are underway with regulators to overcome these challenges and enable future availability.
Pending expansion to Europe and China, users in these regions when traveling to countries that support Apple Intelligence will be able to take advantage of the voice assistant’s features, provided the device used is configured for a compatible language.
Technological innovation and global availability
Users can expect Apple Intelligence to revolutionize their daily lives with its expanded language support and advanced features. Apple continues to demonstrate its commitment to making its technologies accessible to the masses, and this language expansion is a tangible testament to that.
For those eagerly awaiting the opportunity to use Apple Intelligence in a language they are familiar with, their patience will be rewarded with a richer and more intuitive user experience than ever before. With this move, Apple reaffirms its leading position in technological innovation and global accessibility.
In 2024, this linguistic revolution brings technology to everyone’s fingertips, breaking down language barriers and making digital tools more inclusive and powerful. Future announcements will likely reveal more languages and features, so stay tuned for more from Apple!
