Google Assistant gets bilingual,responds in languages you use

Google Assistant gets bilingual,responds in languages you use

The google assistant has a newly updated feature and it is surely designed to impress users worldwide.

The voice-activated Google Assistant inside Google Home smart speakers will be now able to recognize languages in any pairing of English, German, French, Spanish, Italian and Japanese, with more languages to follow.

As Google explains, if you’re listening for an answer in English, you can ask something along the lines of, “Hey Google, what’s the weather like today?” If you want to hear music from a favorite German hip-hop band, you might ask “Hey Google, Spiele die Fantastischen Vier.”

You will have to set up the pair of supported languages you want to be spoken back to you in advance.

According to Google multilingual support has been a highly requested feature and something that the company has been working on for years. Advances in speech recognition, artificial intelligence and neural networks are now making it possible.

Google provided this example in a company blog:

“Even for a monolingual environment, if a user asks to ‘set an alarm for 6pm’, the Google Assistant must understand that “set an alarm” implies opening the clock app, fulfilling the explicit parameter of “6pm” and additionally make the inference that the alarm should be set for today. Making this work for a pair of languages only adds to the complexity.”

For now, you are limited to the bilingual pairings listed above, though Google also hopes to extend the feature for trilingual families.

The multilingual feature works on all Google Assistant-capable devices that support the compatible languages.
