I almost got excited. "how do you say x in Spanish", what a great use of Siri.

"How do you say Thank You in Dutch?" => "I can't translate into Dutch yet."

Oh come on, there are only half a dozen online translators which can do it.

Some mid-upper level manager in Apple should be ashamed. And every exec above them in the line to the top.

Oh no, that's awful. I mostly translate between Spanish and English, it didn't occur to me that Siri was less capable than Apple's own Translator app, it makes no sense.
