Google’s Gemini Live conversational AI experience recently became available to everyone for free, and now the company has announced another development for this specific service.
Starting today and “rolling out over the coming weeks”, the conversational Gemini Live will suport more than 40 languages. Gemini Live supports conversations in up to two languages on the same device, and there are plans to expand this to more languages in the future.
Unfortunately, Google hasn’t shared a list of the 40+ languages Gemini Live will be available in soon, at least not yet. Before this rollout, only English, German, Spanish, French, and Portuguese were supported, so this is a very significant expansion.
To change your preferred languages for Gemini Live open the Google app, go to Settings > Google Assistant > Languages and pick one. Then, you can optionally add a second supported language.
Additionally, “over the coming weeks”, you’ll be able to connect to new tools across different apps in more languages. Google gives three examples of this: having Gemini find a recipe sent to you in Gmail and asking it to add the ingredients to your shopping list in Google Keep; taking a photo of a concert flier and asking Gemini if you’re free that day, as well as setting a reminder to buy tickets; asking Gemini when your favorite comic book movie is out and then asking it to remind you a week before its release to buy tickets for it.
