As there is no option to buy a HomePod in the Netherlands, I bought two in France and chose English (UK).
And indeed, today Siri is a different person (a lot less snooty British )
Good thing then, I can't stand that snooty English I prefer the USA voice to that.
True, but there's one problem: my English is a bit British (so the UK Siri "understands" me better...)
I think you can have Siri's listening in English UK and the spoken part in American English ... (I could be wrong, I'll experiment). I am UK born now in the USA by the way and after 30 years here it is amazing how I now perceive various English accents.
I wish Apple wouldn’t asume dialect & accent are regional or related to the voice you choose. Look at their own workforce then practice the diversity they preach.
What do you mean?
My wife & I are from different countries and we live in a third country. Neither of us have the local accent/dialect so we’re caught in a netherworld. I think Apple employs people from all across the world who will have the same displacement issue so they must have encountered this.

So you’re annoyed thay Apple hasn’t done English in every possible accent? Covering as many languages as they do already is pretty impressive.

The next big thing should be multi lingual support. There are serious shortcomings in that area.
