- What it is
- Apple's table of which watchOS 27 features work in which languages and regions. Its Keyboard section lists the languages for dictation and, separately, for on-device dictation on Apple Watch.
- How much weight it carries
- Official Apple page for watchOS 27. It lists languages only: it does not name the watch models that run on-device dictation and does not say how Apple chooses between on-device and server processing. The table changes with each release.
