In addition to Wireless CarPlay, more diverse Emojis, and improved logging in for Google services, iOS 8.3 adds a major new feature: several new languages for Siri. Over three years following the initial Siri beta in 2011, iOS 8.3 adds support for the following languages in Siri: Russian, Danish, Dutch, Portuguese, Swedish, Thai, Turkish, and English for India…
Some of these languages were forecasted for a future version of Siri by way of multiple Apple job listings posted over the past couple of years. The new options are accessible via the Siri settings panel on the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. iOS 8.3 is scheduled for release later this year and a Public Beta will be released in mid-March, according to sources. Apple is also developing iOS 8.2 for release in March, iOS 8.4 with the new music streaming service for the summer, and iOS 9 for the fall.

Russian social networks are going to be crazy now and full of jokes about Siri.
They already are. Сири на русском!!
also Portuguese and Turkish
Eindelijk (finally in Dutch)
No Brazilian Portuguese?
brazilian portuguese too
NICE!!!!!! How about Portugal Portuguese? Can anyone confirm?
no, sorry. only Brazilian Portuguese
Yeah, Brazil has a lot of people, so I can understand supporting their pronunciation, but come on Apple, seriously? No Iberian Portuguese? FFS.
If this info. are correct this are a little boring. I need Portuguese from Portugal… How many years will take? I can’t talk the whole time in English from USA. I don’t use siri because don’t support my language.
Good Work, but carry on plz!
any clues of Polish, Czech and Slovak?
not included, sorry
Čoskoro bude podľa mňa ;)
Držím palce
Genuinely great additions.
Äntligen! =)
Maybe instead of gong whole-hog on a car, Apple might try to speed up releasing anchor features of their platform in all regions in a timely manner? 3 years. Wow.
Now they just have to make Siri not suck.
Finally Portuguese! 🙌 🙌🙌 🙌🙌 🙌🙌 🙌
Can CarPlay now be used in Netherlands?
All Brazilians are literally having a huge orgasm right now. Seriously. WOW. Apple seduce me I love you so much. Marry me. HUE HUE BRBR
Siri talks in Russian very comical. But this is a first step and that’s great!
In Brazilian Portuguese we don’t say “I’ve achieved all of my life goals”. We say “Siri em português huehue” and I think it’s beautiful!
Basic error already found, Siri it is Português and not “Portugués”… Well very bad don’t know even how to write correctly the language that is suppose to support… Either way, it is a start… finally.
OMG turkish siri :D https://vine.co/v/OQt5ebrrKOV
Finally! It only took 4 years before Siri came in Danish..
Brazilian Portuguese? Boy, that will be comical to try to speak… :(
Still not Portuguese….. I mean European…. I’m losing my hope :(
But, WHAT!?
How can they add Swedish and Danish, but not Norwegian?!
Because Norway has a smaller population than both Sweden and Denmark…
Siri. Por favor fala em Português de Portugal.
Äntligen!
Still no Croatian? :( tho Apple has made records for some dialects, we have a lot of them for small country. :)
What about Norwegian? Strange if only the other scandinavian languages Swedish and Danish are added…
Norwegian? Not so many people, but …
I lost all hope for Lithuanian being added very long time ago. Apple has balls to sell the device here, but they can’t even translate the interface to Lithuanian. Siri? Forget it.
Will there ever be a support for icelandic language? or maybe just Icelandic English?
Is anybody having the issue with it saying: Sorry, could you say that again? Siri won’t let me speak. Using iOS 8.3 Beta 2 iPhone 6 Verizon
Yes i have that too :(
I fixed it, you need to go to General –> reset –> reset all settings.
