Apple’s Siri to speak Russian

Apple’s mobile voice-activated assistant Siri will be fully fluent in Russian as part of Apple’s March release of its newest smartphone software, industry website 9to5Mac reported.

Siri allows iPhone users to ask questions or issue commands to their mobile phone, such as locating nearby restaurants or calling a friend. The service was first released in English in 2011, and has since added a number of languages, including Japanese, Chinese and German.
