I dictate in several languages.
Is there a way to tell Siri with Drafts, dictate in French/English etc then beginning the dictation ?
(I am talking both iPhone/iPad and watch here).

Yes on iOS.
No on watchOS.
On iOS, language can be selected in the dictation interface, and it remembers your last selection - but you can also create URL based actions (or shortcuts from other apps) which open dictation directly to a specific language.
Here is a sample for Italian, which can be adapted by change the locale string in the URL. This example úses “it-IT” for Italian, other examples are “en-US” (US English), “es-MX” (Mexican Spanish), etc.
watchOS does not currently have a way for an app to request a language/locale. It can only be selected by the user by force touching once in the dictation interface.

So I create a note by invoking Siri and can dictate it in the language I want. Very useful whilst driving.
Is there a vocal command to end the dictation (so as to keep my eyes on the road )?
