It lags behind in Arabic SPEcifically. My friend has bought Huawei android phone on summer 2018. I asked him whether Arabic is in the set of support languages, but it hadn’t exist yet. By chance, I discovered that it is supported on another Smart phone running android 8, but with poor performance in detecting the language. I can’t reach Android 11 now to test again. On the other hand, iPhone 5s works pretty well.
