Why do the foreign language Siri voices use English day and month names?

I had picked French (Canada) and was ready to believe that "nous sommes le Sunday, June seize, deux mille treize" was correct in Quebec and Nova Scotia, until I checked in German and Japanese, and all the answers used English day and month names!

Yes, that is exactly how it works.  You can quickly switch among keyboards using the Globe key.
I'm sure you will easily find the Region Formats if you have a look at Settings/General/International

  • Why is the Spanish language version cheaper than English version?

    I was going to purchase the next book in the series The Elite and stumbled upon the Spanish version. Well if I learned Spanish apparently I would be saving money on all my book purchases. It is 2 dollars cheaper than the English version. I am curious why?    

    You will have to ask the publisher, they set the prices, nobody here would know.

  • Anyone no why I can't change Siri voice ?

    Any one no why I can't change Siri voice ? 

    Hey Mattyljw11,
    Thanks for the question. I understand you wish to change the voice of Siri. With iOS 7, you can change the gender of Siri from Female to Male in Settings > General > Siri > Voice Gender. For more information, see the following article:
    iOS: Understanding Siri and VoiceOver voices
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5025
    Note: Siri requires an internet connection. It may be best to attempt to change the Voice Gender while connected to Wi-Fi.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • GPO - Restricts the UI languages Windows should use for the selected user - not applying correctly on RDS 2012 R2

    Hi All,
    we have a Citrix XenApp 7.5 Farm with Windows Server 2012 R2 Servers and multiple (english, german, italian, spanish, french...) languages installed.
    I've created a GPO with settings 'Restricts the UI languages Windows should use for the selected user' to for example 'German'.
    Now when a user logs on to the server, the UI language is in german, but when i open Control Panel\Language: There is still English (United States) with Keyboard Layout: US, German.
    It seems that the GPO is not changing all settings correctly to german.
    Does anybody know what could be wrong?
    best regards,
    Siegmund

    Hi Siegmund,
    >>Now when a user logs on to the server, the UI language is in german, but when i open Control Panel\Language: There is still English (United States) with Keyboard Layout: US, German
    Based on the description, the policy setting should have been applied successfully. Here, did we logged onto the server via remote desktop services? If yes, what's the keyboard layout on the computer we used to RDP to the server? Before going further,
    I assume that this can be caused by Auto detect Remote Keyboard layout feature introduced since Windows Server 2008.
    Regarding this point, the following artcile can be referred to for more information.

  • I have unlimited data, so why do I receive the text stating I've used 50% of my monthly data allowance?

    I have unlimited data, so why do I receive the text stating I've used 50% of my monthly data allowance and that my data may be restricted for the remainder of my bill cycle? I've been with Verizon 15+ years and don't think its necessary to be screwed out of my unlimited plan... I heard something last year regarding Verizon limiting the unlimited plan if someone reached a certain point of usage... I'd like to have some clarity on this issue...

    call *611 or go to a verizon corporate store and fix it. Hopefully it will be an easy fix.

  • What's the best logic reverb to use for trumpets and sax

    what's the best logic reverb to use for trumpets and sax.

    The lower transmit frequency limit is in there to make the device meet FCC regulations.. that is a regulation imposed of US regions and, to a lesser extent, Latin american regions that border with the US.
    In addition, you'll be pleased to know that the N900 will not use certain European WiFi channels if a) the sim card is removed or b) the phone has a sim card but is OUT of 3G coverage.. again, to make the device meet FCC regulations.. (seriously.. when you go out of 3G coverage, the kernel reports it is switching from EU wifi to US wifi!!)
    Let me put this into perspective..
    From: http://www.nokia.com/results/Nokia_results2009Q3e.pdf
    Nokia sold 3.1million handsets in the US 2009 Q3
    Nokia sold 27.1million handsets in Europe during the same period.. That is 9 times as many.
    The USA has its OWN firmware
    and yet ALL versions of the firmware (including the UK specific one) are crippled to meet the requirements of a region that produces the lowest sales figures by a factor of 3 (Latin America produced 9.7 million units in 2009Q3)
    Why the HELL are we suffering because of US restrictions..
    That's like saying you can't use bluetooth because it isn't allowed on the Christmas islands.. (it is allowed.. not picking on you, Christmas Islands, but you are small!)
    If the FCC wants a phone that doesn't allow broadcasts on sub 88Mhz frequences, and doesn't want certain Wifi channels to be used, the ALTER THE US FIRMWARE..
    What next, BMWs have with left hand steering in the UK because the US drives on the Left?
    Phillips TVs that only work on 120V because the US uses 120V..
    I don't give a **** what the FCC say.. I'm not in the US and I have my own european and UK legislation to adhere to..
    For a company that INSISTS on having a billion regional firmware versions, they don't appear to be able to get that right either!!! The UK version lacks UK specific restrictions such as the ability to us UK frequencies for wifi and FM transmission!!
    Crazy and very very irritating

    First, confirm that ActiveX Filtering is configured to allow Flash content:

    Internet Explorer 11 introduces a number of changes both to how the browser identifies itself to remote web servers, and to how it processes JavaScript intended to target behaviors specific to Internet Explorer. Unfortunately, this means that content on some sites will be broken until the content provider changes their site to conform to the new development approach required by modern versions of IE.
    You can try to work around these issues by using Compatibility View:

    I heard back from Nike+ support and they said that there will be newer pics soon and it also appears that this corrected itself for my runs, but not the user pic, I only get girly options, I wouldn't mind a picture of a guy on 'ROIDS!!! Just kidding, but something less feminine or cartoon like, I'm trying to be serious about this and the site should reflect that.
