Open the original- What it measures
- This is Apple's description of bilingual typing on the keyboard. It is about typing, and Apple's pages do not describe the same feature for Dictation.
- What it does not show
- It names only supported language pairs and says to check the feature availability page for them. It does not describe mixing two languages inside one dictated sentence.
