The main gripe I have with Siri is that is still can't understand bilingual (german/english) conversation. This makes this service unusable for me. How do you ask Siri for a song, a movie, a person name which happens to be english, when the device is set to german?

Honest question, do other assistants offer that? Just curious.

Yes, I'm a native Spanish speaker and Google Now works great with bilingual queries for me, that has been improving in recent years.

I always select English as my default language in my phones, some years ago if I wanted to call someone with a Spanish name saying something like "Call Ramon Hernandez" or asking for directions "Take me to Periférico de la Juventud" I used to had to fake an American accent. Today I don't have to do that anymore, I can speak natural Spanish and then it can understand my Mexican accent when I speak English. So it's not just improving in bilingual queries, they have focused in accents and mispronunciations.

Google's voice recognition works well when it's English plus one other language. If neither is English (eg. Japanese + Cantonese) it doesn't work at all. Neither does the triple combination of English + Japanese + Cantonese work, even if explicitly specified in settings.

Works good with Google for me, also German and English

The Apple TV Siri actually can cope with two languages when it comes to movie names. Using Siri here I don't have to "hack" it by pronouncing English words in German. At least the iOS keyboard understands more than one language simultaneously now. Something macOS and Android do for a long time.
