Google expands Gemini Live with over 40 languages for AI voice chat

Google is making Gemini Live accessible to a global audience, enhancing its role as a tool for natural, conversational interactions. Initially, Gemini Live was only available for paid Gemini Advanced subscribers, but in September 2024, Google made it part of the free experience for users.

Launched first in English, Gemini Live is now expanding its language support, with plans to cover more than 40 languages in the coming weeks. Google has already rolled out the first phase of the expansion, starting with languages like French, German, Brazilian Portuguese, American Spanish, and Hindi. In the weeks ahead, more languages will follow.

Chat in multiple languages

Users can set up two languages simultaneously on the same device, and Google plans to add more options in the future. This feature makes conversations more natural and convenient for users who speak more than one language.

Stay connected to your favorite Google Apps

In addition to the expanded language support, Google is integrating Gemini Live more deeply into its broader ecosystem.

Gemini Live doesn’t just chat; it also connects with Google apps like Gmail, Calendar, and Maps. This means you can ask it to find information, add events to your calendar, or set reminders, all in your chosen language. For example, you could ask Gemini to pull up a recipe from your Gmail and add the ingredients to your shopping list in Google Keep.​

• Have real conversations: Speak to Gemini directly without typing, and it will respond to you verbally, making interactions feel more natural.
• Brainstorm out loud: Whether you’re looking for gift ideas, planning an event, or thinking through a business plan, Gemini can help you come up with ideas on the spot.
• Explore topics: Dive deeper into subjects that interest you by asking Gemini for more details and insights.
• Practice for key moments: Rehearse for big presentations, job interviews, or any important events in a conversational way, helping you feel more prepared​

With the addition of over 40 languages and deeper integration with Google apps, Gemini Live is becoming a more powerful tool for users worldwide. Whether you’re chatting in two languages or managing tasks across apps, this update makes conversational AI more intuitive and accessible for everyone.
