What it measures
Apple's Apple TV guide describes the on-screen keyboard on second-generation or later Siri Remotes. The keyboard language setting is separate from Siri dictation, and the guide places it under typing on the on-screen keyboard.
What it does not show
The guide covers the on-screen keyboard. It does not say whether Siri dictation follows the keyboard language you choose there, so do not assume it does.
