I'm trying to setup Siri on a relative's iPhone. The phone language is set to English, but she prefer to use Cantonese (Hong Kong) when using Siri. Is that possible? Most of the phone contacts are in English, with a handful in Chinese character.
 
My recommendation is to turn it all off. Siri struggles with her native language English. She isn't very fluent in Cantonese

It would appear that Siri doesn't do Chinese voice despite being able to input Cantonese(Hong Kong) feature using Siri & Search function.
 
Siri just can’t do multi language. Worse, it cannot distinguish Japanese and Chinese when Chinese character is present, as many Japanese words include Chinese characters. It’s beyond terrible.
