Recent job postings on Apple's website hint that the company is looking to add additional languages to Siri. Apple is seeking Siri Language Engineers who have expertise in foreign languages and software development skills.

Come and join the team that teaches Siri how to understand and speak new languages. We are an extremely diverse and passionate group dedicated to bringing the future of intelligent assistants to the world. We are looking for a highly motivated engineer, expert in foreign languages and with strong software development skills to join our team.

Apple posted the job openings between June 10 and June 19, and they are seeking engineers fluent in Norwegian, Turkish, Danish, Arabic, Brazilian Portuguese, Swedish, Dutch, Thai, and Russian, all of which are currently not supported by Siri.

iOS 7 brought major changes to Siri including faster response times, a new look, a new voice and more. iOS 8 does not add major features to Siri, but will bring real-time feedback, Hey Siri support and Shazam integration.
