Today's launch Apple Pay put a smile on the lips of many a Czech apple grower. Not to either. After all, we have been waiting for the service to become operational in our country, despite the fact that we have long been among the powerhouses in contactless payment, for four and a half years. To run Apple Pay in the first country, which was of course the USA, the Californian giant decided already on October 20, 2014. Many of you are from Czech Apple Pay even so carried away that in the comments under our articles you express great hopes for the arrival of Czech-speaking Siri or Prague Apple Store. Exactly those of you will be disappointed by the following lines. The fulfillment of these hopes now seems really unlikely.

Startup Apple Pay in the Czech Republic, heralding the arrival of a Czech-speaking Siri It certainly can't be taken. Just look at the languages Siri and support Apple Pay around the world and it must be clear to you right away that there is really no connection between these services. There are countries that Siri speaks their native language, but Apple Pay will not enjoy it, but so will the states that have it exactly the opposite. A great example can be Poland, which already Apple Pay been using it for some time, but in Polish Siri neither sight nor hearing. On the contrary, such Dutch people are already Siri speaks their native language for some time, but with the support of Apple Pay they are still waiting. Therefore, the functionality of one service in a given country cannot be considered as a guarantee that the other service will also be available in that country, and vice versa.
That you Siri to the Czech Republic and, by extension, nowhere else in the foreseeable future can also be inferred from the fact that it has not learned any new languages in the last few years and is still "fluent" in "only" 21 languages. Instead, its developers are apparently trying to improve its functions to make its use much more pleasant and useful for users, because its users will be able to entrust it with more complicated tasks. It is therefore clear that Apple will now rather try to improve its functioning in already established languages than to try to satisfactorily put a new language into operation, with which of course there is much more work to be done.
Did you know that you Siri you can also enjoy it on Apple Watch?:

But we should also realize how big a country we are and how many of us would Siri was really used intensively in its normal functioning. So let's pour ourselves some pure wine. Would it be millions or perhaps hundreds of thousands of users? Probably not. Although in the Czech Republic it is Apple relatively popular among customers, we are still a very small market with our approximately 10 million inhabitants, in which Apple most certainly do not hold. Moreover, it is practically clear that many of us would not use the Czech Siri after a few months or weeks it would get tired and its user base would decrease significantly. I would rather not guess whether it would be in the tens of thousands of people or hundreds of thousands. However, both of these numbers are really insignificant compared to foreign users and it is so clear that Apple rather please users who Siri used in English, with new improvements, as this step will simply bring much greater benefit than creating a Czech Siri pro a few (hundred thousand) enthusiasts.

Bottom line, sum up - launch Apple Pay in the Czech Republic to be considered the vanguard of the Czech Siri It is definitely not possible, even though we would really like it. So all we can do is wait and hope that Apple in the future to pay for a Czech language course for Siri she decides and we will talk to her in her mother tongue after all. Until then, at least this will have to be enough for us Apple Pay.
It's starting now...🤣
When Siri I will buy Jablíčko again ;)
With current Siri at least you practice English and pronunciation – I personally understand UK ladies better than US ones. Otherwise it's very good for practicing pronunciation, sometimes it's hell :-))
when you need Czech names, you are in trouble. that's why it can't be used here.... I'm not really going to rename the phone book
If you are satisfied with controlling your home and music player, then that's fine. Or you can call someone. But for writing/dictating, managing your daily agenda and similar functions that you can do through HomeThey are hellish and basically useless under the hood. So it depends on what you need/use it for.
in my opinion, it's a foreshadowing of the fact that Apple downloads from USA to CZ
Exactly :-)
😁
We won't see this…maybe for a decade
Put another 50 fucking articles on AP today :)
fly around the worldapplepay.eu
Then again, it's an event, the whole news on TV nova will be dedicated to it in the evening.😉
Who is Czech? Siri Can you talk? Andrej Babiš??
… no 😀

What is this argument that there are few of us and that we are a small market?!?!? The Norwegians have siri and there are half as many of them as us 😂😂😂 so let's pour some pure wine…..
Exactly, the article is a piece of cake. If he can Google Assistant Czech (like he should have been able to do it in 2018, but somehow nestneedles), there is no reason why it should not be Czech in time Siri.
This is exactly what I wanted to write :D I even mentioned it once somewhere in the discussion. There are almost 5 and a half million Norwegians and siri in their language. Denmark has 5,7 million inhabitants and siri in their language they have, Finland has 5,5 million inhabitants and siri in their language they have . Sweden has over 10 million inhabitants and siri they have in their language. So where is the mistake with us? ProDon't we have it too?
So right here it seems completely clear to me. These Scandinavian languages are simply very similar and Apple he could simply work on them as a whole and in the final stage just adapt them to the given country. But Czech does not have many similar languages, which may hinder its development. If Czech were to be Siri has started, it can be expected that it will be launched in a similar period Siri Slovak and maybe even Croatian. It's hard to say.
Well, I don't want to sound clever, but Czech, Slovak, and Polish are quite similar, I've never seen someone who couldn't get along with a Pole or a Slovak, I don't know how it is with Croatian, how it sounds, I've never heard it, but if it's similar, why would it didn't work, did it? :)
Get along with a Pole? So you really know a lot about that language. Polish is treacherous precisely because the meaning of words is completely shifted compared to Czech (farmhouse, cellar, ships, etc., etc.).
Well, I don't know, I don't have the slightest problem with that Bert, of course there are various betrayals like If you tell a cop that you're going to fuck his sister, I don't have a problem with that because he doesn't know that you're going to fuck him :D But there are also a lot of things what are the same I don't know, I speak Polish fluently, I don't have a problem with it and I see it as a very easy language, even if it's about breaking the tongue many times :D
I think that Polish is the way to Czech. Siri. Poland is a big market and sooner or later it will Siri in Polish and it is quite possible that at the same time also in Czech and Slovak. Let's not forget that dictation in Czech works very well, so there is no need to Siri so far away again.
I agree, dictation in Czech works great. If the phone can handle this, I think it shouldn't be that much of a problem to use and implement it in siriPoland is big, but I suspect that their economy is not that great and I dare not say, but I think that it is still so popular. Apple products are not there. However, it is clear that the number of inhabitants in a given country does not really matter, if it did, the Poles would siri in Polish they had it a long time ago.
Poland has 38 million inhabitants and siri it also doesn't have any, so the wine is not that clean... and you forgot to mention e.g. Russian as a Slavic language.. so that won't be a problem either. I still remember how mac os sierra was systemically prepared for the arrival of Czech, Slovak, Polish, Romanian siri where it was even translated into these languages (text messages).. and still nothing.
It won't be faster than waiting for the Czech one Siri, learn those ten sentences in English? 😂
But this is a matter of principle :D
No. Call (from your watch) via siri Czech name.
I won't say it if you want🐵
Is it so hard to learn English? 😊😂
This is not about me learning a few commands in English, but the problem is that I want to send an SMS from the car or I want to save a spoken note, and I will definitely not speak to myself in English or I will not send SMS to my parents in English. Sometimes it seems to me that some of you write faster than you think...
So, as far as I know, you can dictate sms or text in general in Czech and it's pretty accurate, I use it that way on Apple Watch so that I don't have to pull iPhone ;)
The moment you say, "Hey Siri", so you can't dictate in classic Czech. Math meant that when you're driving in a car, for example, you say "Hey Siri", "Send a message to Pavel", and then dictate the message, but you can only do that in the language you Siri speaks.
Too bad he can't upload it Siri everyone on their own and gradually teach her 😂
Maybe Babis arranged it 🙄🥵😂
Babiš would have to "talk" the Slovak siri.. that's his native language.. I'm Slovak and I know he "doesn't know" Czech :D
It's really sad when no one in this state can communicate this business opportunity for Apple. So that Siri is really used by the entire Czech Republic and Slovakia. Which would be directness for 3 parties. There are smaller states and they are really skillful in establishing themselves commercially in the world.
