Implement Czech Siri for Equitable Access for Czech Apple Users


Implement Czech Siri for Equitable Access for Czech Apple Users
The Issue
English Version:
We, the undersigned Apple users, respectfully request that Apple Inc. fully localize the Siri voice assistant into the Czech language.Apple products are sold in the Czech Republic at prices comparable to those in the United States and other countries, yet essential features – specifically Siri in Czech – remain unavailable. In 2025, we believe it is unacceptable that customers in the heart of Europe are deprived of such core functionality, despite paying full price. While users in countries like the USA, Germany, France, Italy, or Spain can use Siri in their native languages, Czech users are still excluded from this key service.
We therefore demand that Apple:
• Publicly share a roadmap for the release of Czech Siri
• Ensure fair feature parity for all EU users, regardless of language
• Acknowledge and respect the language of over 10 million Czech-speaking citizens
Czech Apple users deserve equal treatment, support, and access to technology as users in other regions.
Thank you.

Česká verze:
My, níže podepsaní uživatelé zařízení Apple, žádáme společnost Apple Inc. o plnou lokalizaci hlasové asistentky Siri do českého jazyka.
Produkty Apple se v České republice prodávají za ceny srovnatelné s těmi v USA či jiných zemích, avšak zásadní funkce – konkrétně Siri v češtině – je stále nedostupná.
V roce 2025 považujeme za nepřijatelné, aby byli zákazníci v srdci Evropy ochuzeni o klíčové funkce zařízení, za která zaplatili plnou cenu. Zatímco uživatelé v USA, Německu, Francii, Itálii či Španělsku mohou používat Siri ve svém rodném jazyce, čeští uživatelé jsou z této služby dosud vyloučeni.
Žádáme tímto společnost Apple, aby:
• Zveřejnila konkrétní plán zavedení české verze Siri
• Zajistila rovné funkce pro všechny uživatele EU bez ohledu na jazyk
• Respektovala jazyk více než 10 milionů česky mluvících občanů
Čeští uživatelé Apple si zaslouží stejné zacházení, podporu a přístup k technologiím jako uživatelé v jiných regionech.
Děkujeme.
In an increasingly interconnected and digital global landscape, the importance of equal access to technology cannot be understated. A pressing issue in this regard is the lack of Siri, Apple Inc.'s virtual assistant, in the Czech language. As of 2021, Siri supports 21 languages, yet the Czech language, spoken by over 10 million people, is not amongst them (source: Apple Inc.). This considerably restricts the usability of Apple's products for these Czech speakers. Furthermore, this is a significant oversight considering almost 50% of smartphones used in the Czech Republic are manufactured by Apple Inc., suggesting a vast potential user base (source: StatCounter). We call on Apple Inc. to respect the rights of its Czech-speaking consumers by providing Siri service in the Czech language. Fair access to technology is more than a convenience—it's a right. Please sign this petition to demand Apple Inc. to make Siri available in Czech language.
