well play, very goodly. That is awl.
Samsung is again delayed the Bixby voice assistant in the US because its English not so good with skills. More data is needed on the way Americans talk to there phones to tell it to do stuff which is apparently hard for not-American English speaking people to understand. We literally don't no why its like so hard. Bixby is …
If Samsung are using Korean programmers to develop Bixby they are making a mistake.
I'm sure if they asked around they could find some people whose first language is English.
Of course having a bunch of Californians develop Bixby won't help if they want to sell phones in Newcastle (NSW or Tyneside).

It probably doesn't matter where the programmers were from, including if they are indigenous to the intended market. Bixby (like its Apple and Google equivalents) is a pile of steaming shit that nobody asked for. If Samsung want to really sell handsets, then I can help them: What the world wants is an order of magnitude improvement in battery life, and not catching fire. What the world couldn't give a toss about is pathetic, useless "virtual assistants".
FFS, Samsung, grow up! Stop slavishly copying other companies, and play to your strengths, rather than playing second fiddle to theirs. Oooh, and start supporting your handsets for longer, as well as stopping filling them with crappy Sammobloatware that we can't delete.
I would have paid a premium to REMOVE Bixby from my S8. It's awful, useless and annoying. How do I disable that hardware Bixby button or reassign it to something useful? Samsung's instructions point to a setting that doesn't exist. Bixby vision is equally useless.
The US are lucky to have escaped Bixby for now. How do you say "take this Bixby bilge off my phone" in Korean?
Article funny, but then I realised most likely we all understood all of it instantly anyway.
So Mr. Sam Sung please just keep and spread widely Bixby Pidgin so we can make it through the day and have a mild chuckle from time to time.
P.S. With apologies to all Across-the-Ponders (since it is only partly your fault) but, I was like, the article was a good deal more, like, literate than what you hear from kids in public when, like, every other, like, word is ..... OK you get the point. May I suggest the kids just copy us Scousers and save up all the "likes" and just put one at the end of every sentence instead.
Self-driving car: Where to go, fleshpile?
Me: You stupid machine! Learn to speak proper English! Go to hell!
Self-driving car: Set course to concrete pillar. Set speed to 666 KPH. Lock doors; disconnect usermic. Engaging throttle.
Good start to a soggy northern English day! Was that a story translated to Korean then back into English?
Serious point though - why do companies that make Android phones insist on duplicating all the Google stuff with their own bloatware? How much cheaper would phones be if we didn't have to fund all that R&D into apps that never get used and just end up taking up space and resources? (I know - they wouldn't be any cheaper, but I can dream!)
... and speak languages other than English, right?
Real question - does anyone know how Bixby compares to Google or Apple when it comes to SE Asian languages, particularly Korean? Are they all equally awful in other languages as well?
I understand we are an English speaking audience, but the media don't tend to dig very deep on this.
