Revamped Apple Maps Now Being Tested in Spain and Portugal

Wow, Apple do knows that Portugal exists, that’s new!

They still don’t know what European Portuguese is for Siri, though...

there is no such thing as original portuguese or brazilian. they both are the same language: portuguese. stop being racist. Portuguese people are really xenophobic. For years I played games in portuguese from Portugal and never complained. No wonder u never adopted the new "acordo ortográfico", because u need to "preserve the language".

Dude, written language is one thing.

Oral language is another. And yes, Portuguese from Portugal or from Brazil are two very different things and Portuguese people are absolutely not xenophobic for pointing that out.
If you were correct, we would not have French from France or from Canada. Or Spanish from Spain or from South American countries.

And if you don't know the difference between written and oral, please don't join the conversation.

I'm in Portugal and I'm not seeing this. Why?

Rollout of map updates can usually take a few weeks to get to everyone. Test periods, like this, can be a few weeks to a few months before a general rollout.

+1 exactly. If the Dutch language has both Netherlands and Flemish version, why no original portugees version?! (I prefer to use the English version over the “Brazilian” version)

There certainly *is* an "original" Portuguese, since the word "original" just means where something "originated" from, and Portuguese originated in Portugal. "Original" does not mean "better", it just means what it means, and there's nothing racist in acknowledging that there are differences between "original" Portuguese and Brazilian Portuguese, just like there are between "original" Spanish and the different Latin American flavors of Spanish (and it's not just about accent, it's about vocabulary, slang, etc.). It doesn't mean one is better and the others are inferior, it just means one is the original. And yes, both have evolved separately since the time when one language was adopted in the other countries, but that doesn't make the "original" any less "original", and again, people shouldn't read "original" as meaning "better" in any case. If they had talked about "real" Portuguese I would understand the reaction, but not with "original".
