Apple Intelligence will support German, Italian, Korean, Portuguese, and Vietnamese in 2025

Apple announced Wednesday that its generative AI offering will be available in even more languages in 2025. Additions to Apple Intelligence include English (India), English (Singapore), German, Italian, Korean, Portuguese, Vietnamese, and “others” yet to be announced.

The feature will launch in American English, when it arrives as part of the iOS 18.1 update. The company previously announced that localized English support for Australia, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa, and the U.K. will arrive later in 2024, with support for Chinese, French, Japanese, and Spanish coming in 2025.

Notably, however, Apple Intelligence won't be available in two massive markets at launch. Due to regulatory issues with the Digital Markets Act, it will not launch on the iPhone or iPad in the EU. The company tells TechCrunch, however, that it is currently discussing the issue with the European Commission. It also points out that Apple Intelligence is currently available in the EU via the macOS Sequoia 15.1 developer beta.

An even larger issue presents itself in China, where Apple is contending with local regulation around generative AI models. The company says it is also engaged in discussions about Apple Intelligence in that critical market.
