Gemini Live, Google’s advanced AI assistant, is continuing its impressive expansion by rolling out support for five more languages. After completing its English launch earlier this week, Gemini Live is now available in French, German, Portuguese, Hindi, and Spanish on Android devices. This expansion signals a significant step forward for the platform, with full availability expected in the coming weeks.
A Global Rollout for Gemini Live
Starting today, users of Gemini Live can enjoy conversational support in these new languages. Google plans to extend Gemini Live’s language capabilities even further, aiming to support over 40 languages in the near future. What makes this AI assistant unique is its ability to handle conversations in up to two languages on the same device. You can easily switch between languages during a conversation, enhancing communication flexibility.
How to Set Your Preferred Language
Once your language is supported, you’ll receive a notification directly through the app. Setting a preferred language is straightforward:
- Open the Google app on your Android phone or tablet.
- Tap your profile picture or initial at the top, and go to Settings > Google Assistant > Languages.
- Choose a supported language.
- Optionally, add a second language for bilingual support.
This two-language feature ensures a seamless experience for multilingual users, a hallmark of Gemini Live’s flexibility and innovation.
More Extensions Coming to Gemini Live
In addition to language support, Google is enhancing Gemini Live with new features. The Gemini Extensions for Calendar, Tasks, and Keep will soon be available in more languages, further improving its utility. Additionally, the Utilities Extension on Android, which takes over the Google Assistant’s functions like setting timers, controlling media, and managing device actions (such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and flashlight), is rolling out across devices.
While these extensions are a welcome addition, Gemini Live’s focus on multilingual support shows its commitment to being a truly global AI assistant.
The Future of Gemini Live
Google’s vision for Gemini Live includes an even broader range of features and capabilities. The promise of supporting 40+ languages and handling bilingual conversations offers users an inclusive, intuitive, and powerful AI assistant. As more people embrace Gemini Live, it’s clear that its influence in the AI space will only grow.
