Da iawn!

I live just into England, next to wales and it also thinks that I am speaking in welsh. This is super annoying.

I live in Brazil, and it happens to me too. My app is in English and I set the language to be English in preferences, yet sometimes, I speak English and it writes in Portuguese. So I guess, it’s purely geographical. Luckily I do understand Portuguese.

I had been wondering if I should reference the misclassified data, but I ultimately refrained from doing so because I couldn’t find the source.

It’s driving me mad… seriously! I really want to use the voice feature, but so often my spoken part comes out as Welsh text. They will have to fix this at some point and I really want to know the issue.
