Open the original- What it measures
- The count is of the main list, before the preview list that starts with an asterisk. Each locale is counted separately, so English appears five times in the main list.
- What it does not show
- The page changes over time, and the preview list is longer than the main list. Dictate is available to Microsoft 365 subscribers. Check the current list before you rely on a language.
