Siri not recognizing “what”

[Leggee]

I’ve noticed over the last week that Siri isn’t recognizing the word “what”. If I say “What are you doing, in Japanese.” to get a translation it just translates “you doing”. Although if I say “How do you say “what are you doing?” In Japanese.” It works.

Perhaps it interprets that phrasing along the lines of "what is <phrase> in <language>"? Where it doesn't treat that initial "what" as being part of the phrase.

Just tried that and it works, thanks. It used to be just “<phrase> in <language>”
oh well, first world problems and all that.
