Does Cortana Support Germany in Windows 10 Phone?
Q: I am wondering if Cortana supports Germany and want to know the way to change Cortana's default language in Windows 10 for phones.
I am about to buy a Windows 10 phone.

However, can someone tell me things regarding Cortana language support, if Cortana supports Germany, the language I use most, and how to change Cortana's default language in Windows 10 for phone if I have to?

Cortana supports Germany
I will ease your mind first: Cortana does support Germany. Cortana was demonstrated for the first time in April, 2014 and officially released in June. As for Cortana language support, Cortana has been available in several countries since its launch including the United States, the United Kingdom, China, Canada, Australia, India, France, Germany, Spain, and Italy and is expected to come to more countries over time.
By contrast, Siri, one of Cortana's biggest rivals, supports English (United States, Canada Australia, United Kingdom, Singapore), French (France, Switzerland), German (Germany, Switzerland), Japanese, Italian (Italy, Switzerland), Spanish (Mexico, Spain, United States), Mandarin (China, Taiwan), Korean, and Cantonese. Anyway, you can enjoy the features in the German version of Cortana, lock, stock and barrel.
