It wont be available in the EU. As Germany is in the EU I’m afraid you are out of look for now. Until the EU gets its head out of its behind.
Yeah, always fault of laws and regulations. Why don’t we get rid of them all and let mega companies like Apple or Google decide what’s right and good? I am sure it would be an incredible experience.

I don't understand this post. Is this about languages or countries? It says not available in the EU but also says will be available in Germany, France, Spain, Italy...

Isn't the title a little misleading? Language support is nice and all, but due to what you described in the last sentence, Apple Intelligence still won't come to some EU countries (as of now).
but it will be available on your Mac :)
