Currently only available in US English, Apple has announced Apple Intelligence will be available in more languages in 2025.
Apple Officially Announces New Languages Coming to Apple Intelligence in 2025, Including Chinese, French, Japanese and More
Those new languages include the following, according to Apple: Chinese, French, Japanese, Spanish, German, Italian, Korean, Portuguese and Vietnamese. However, before any of this happens, Apple is going to start supporting local variants of English in 2024, such as Australia, Canada, South Africa and so on.
More languages are definitely coming, and there’s no time-frame for it, but the ones above is what Apple is going to start its journey with.
The interesting thing to note is how Apple Intelligence will be available in the Chinese language despite no sign of the service being available in China so far. But, that’s not where the problem ends either – Apple needs proper regulatory approval from the EU before it launches Apple Intelligence there as well. Whatever the case might be, Apple is definitely working on it.
Apple Intelligence will become available officially in October for iPhones, iPads and Macs with the iOS 18.1, iPadOS 18.1 and macOS 15.1 updates. If you have a compatible iPhone, iPad and Mac, you’re in for a huge treat soon.
Devices that do not support Apple Intelligence will only get a minimal set of feature updates. But, of course, iPhone 15 Pro and the Apple Silicon Mac is where the party’s at. Everyone else will get mostly bug fixes, which isn’t a bad deal either.
For now, we have to deal with beta updates before the final version of iOS 18.1, iPadOS 18.1 and macOS Sequoia 15.1 becomes available. If you are a registered developer, you can go right ahead and install the beta updates. Once signed up, the update will be delivered to you over the air which means you don’t have to deal with Finder or the mess of cables, either.
I’m going to wait this one out until Apple Intelligence is officially rolled out to everyone in October. Though we don’t have a concrete release date, I’m assuming the update will arrive at the end of October, right before the new Macs go on sale.
