Ford SYNC goes global, 2012 Focus will accept commands in 19 languages
For a long time
Ford kept its best cars in Europe and Australia, leaving Americans to make do with the Tempo or teasing us with a
Focus that wasn't nearly as good as those elsewhere in the world. That's all changed now, and we're dutifully returning the favor.
SYNC, which has been present on many an American Blue Oval since 2007, is now going international, Ford and
Nuance managing to add an additional 16 languages to the voice recognition processing, bringing the total to 19. Emergency assistance has also been expanded to cover other languages as well, so you can now hollar for help, schreien for hilfe, or even schreeuwen om help.
