Google Assistant is bilingual

Spanish, English, German, French, Italian and Japanese are the languages with which we can use this new function in Google Assistant. LangID is the technology that the company has introduced, which is activated directly the moment we start talking to it. It will immediately identify the language in which it is spoken, and it will also do so in case the user changes languages ​​in the middle of the conversation or questions.

In addition, thanks to LangID, user habits will be detected in terms of language use. So Google Assistant will work in a better way and will better adjust to the use that is made of it on a daily basis.

For users who use the wizard, they don't have to do anything. No need to update your device. Google also comments that before the end of the year they expect the assistant to speak at least 30 languages.
