Summary:
When having set Siri to German you can ask for a Timer to be started with “5 Minute Timer”, but not with “5 Minute Countdown”.

Steps to Reproduce:
- Set Siri to German
- Hold the Home Button to get Siri to listen
- Ask for “5 Minuten Countdown”

Expected Results:
- a 5 Minute Timer should begin to count down

Actual Results:
- Siri performs a web search for “5 Minuten Count-down”
- German user gets frustrated

Regression:
- This has been bothering me for quite some time

Notes:
In German both “Timer” and “Countdown” can be used synonymously, both being words borrowed from the English language, both being pronounced the English way.
