Google’s Gemini Live is stepping up its game with a new expansion of language support. As of today, users can now engage with Gemini Live in French, German, Portuguese, Hindi, and Spanish on Android devices, marking the first phase of a broader language rollout that Google plans to implement in the coming weeks. The company has committed to supporting conversations in over 40 languages soon, enhancing its global reach and accessibility.
The company’s plan to enable transitions between two languages in a single conversation is a notable advancement in AI functionality. With this development, Gemini Live aims to cater to a global user base that increasingly engages in multilingual dialogue. This feature, still in its early stages, is expected to expand further, allowing for more fluid communication and supporting the diverse linguistic needs of users.
How to set your preferred languages on Gemini Live?
To adjust your language settings and get the most out of this multilingual upgrade, follow these steps with ease:
- Open the Google app on your Android device, and tap your profile icon at the top of the screen.
- Head into Settings, then select Google Assistant and finally, Languages.
- Choose your preferred language from the available options. Want to speak two languages with Gemini Live? You can add a second supported language as well.
Currently, Gemini Live supports up to two languages per device. As Google continues to develop this feature, users can expect more flexibility in how they interact with AI across multiple languages
Betting on Gemini more and more
In tandem with the language rollout, Google is introducing its new suite of Gemini Extensions, which includes enhanced Calendar, Tasks, and Keep functionalities. These extensions are being made available in more languages over the coming weeks, adding to the overall versatility of the platform.
Additionally, the Utilities Extension is replacing Google Assistant for managing device tasks like setting alarms, controlling media, and adjusting system settings such as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. However, Gemini Live itself is not yet compatible with these Extensions, though future updates could potentially integrate them, further expanding its capabilities.
By broadening the scope of supported languages and refining its utilities, Google is positioning Gemini Live as a more powerful tool for everyday users across the globe.
