Siri automatically switched languages to read my wife's Japanese to me for the first time and I'm so happy. (kbin.run)

We've been married for more than five years and in all that time, whenever she would send me a message in Japanese while I was out and about with my headphones in, Siri would just say "(wife) just sent you a message I can't read" and be done with it.

Today, for the first time ever, the Siri voice switched over to Japanese mode and actually read the message. Starting with English and ending in Japanese, Siri said, "(wife) just sent "牛乳も買って来て".

I'm so elated over this change. It's such a small thing, but HUGE. I just thought it was cool and though it worth sharing.

Well, did you do what she asked? Or did you stand there in the grocery store, excitedly posting on Lemmy, then milklessly return home?

Oh I got the milk then eagerly rushed home to tell her enthusiastically about what had happened. She was kind enough to humor me with some feigned interest amidst her daily exercise routine, and that was that.
