Summary

Apple’s iOS and iPadOS 27 Feature Availability page lists language and regional support separately for tools including Dictionary, QuickType Keyboard, Apple Intelligence, Siri and accessibility features. The system-language list includes numerous Indian languages, while individual features have narrower coverage.

Apple’s iOS and iPadOS 27 Feature Availability page documents language and regional support separately for a wide range of features, including Dictionary, QuickType Keyboard, Siri, Apple Intelligence, accessibility tools and translation. The page’s central message is that support is feature-specific: an option being available as a system language does not automatically mean every iPhone or iPad feature supports it.

Apple’s system-language list includes English variants, major European and Asian languages, and a broad set of Indian languages. These include Assamese, Bengali (India), Bhojpuri (India), Bodo, Dogri, Gujarati, Hindi (India), Kannada, Konkani, Maithili, Malayalam, Manipuri, Marathi, Nepali, Odia, Punjabi, Sanskrit, Tamil and Telugu.

Support is listed separately for each feature

The availability page treats language support as a collection of individual capabilities rather than one global setting. Dictionary is divided into Definition, Bilingual, Thesaurus and Idioms. QuickType Keyboard is separately documented for language support, autocorrection, predictive typing, inline predictions, multilingual typing and QuickPath.

The page also lists feature-level language coverage for Dictation, Apple Pencil handwriting tools, Live Text, Safari translation, Siri, Visual Look Up and accessibility functions. For example, the combined VoiceOver, Live Speech and Read & Speak category includes a long list of supported languages, while on-device image and scene descriptions in VoiceOver and Magnifier have a more limited set.

This structure is useful because closely related features can have different language requirements. Apple lists English (India) for several functions, including some accessibility features, Dictation, Apple Intelligence tools and phone-related capabilities. Hindi (India) also appears in multiple accessibility and language lists, but the availability table differs from feature to feature.

Apple Intelligence and translation have narrower coverage

Apple’s page lists language support for Apple Intelligence features such as Writing Tools, Genmoji, notification summaries, richer language understanding in Siri, Type to Siri, image-generation tools and natural-language search in Photos. Many of these entries include Chinese, English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Spanish, Swedish, Turkish and Vietnamese, with regional variants specified in several cases.

Some features have a smaller language set. More advanced Dictation is listed for English variants, including English (India). Live Translation in Messages includes a broader group of languages than Live Translations in Phone and FaceTime, which is listed for selected Chinese, English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese and Spanish variants.

The same feature-by-feature approach applies to regional services. The page lists India for services including Apple CarPlay, Apple Music and Apple TV, while some other offerings have country-specific coverage. Apple states that iOS and iPadOS features are not currently available in every region or language, so the relevant entry for a particular feature determines its listed coverage.

For users who work across Indian and international languages, the distinction matters more than the system-language list alone. Keyboard input, predictive typing, dictation, translation, accessibility and Apple Intelligence are separate capabilities, and Apple’s iOS 27 documentation presents them as such.
