Why Android auto is reading my text messages in English when everything on my phone is set to french
Pin

2 Recommended Answers 996 Replies 1528 Upvotes Hello everyone,
I'm french, I have a galaxy s10 in french, I use Android auto in french but when I receive a text message Mrs Google switch to English and try to read the name of the expeditor and the message in English even if it's in French.
It's hilarious but not very understandable.
When I receive text messages from telegram, everything is in French as wanted.
Did someone have this kind of issue? Some ideas
Thanks

Hi everyone,
Thanks for all the reports on this issue.
Assistant in Android Auto currently supports a limited number of countries which are listed on the Android Auto official website. We appreciate your patience as we work to support more countries in the future.
For those experiencing this issue in supported countries, please refer to this article in the Google Assistant Help Center, how to change the language of your Google Assistant’s voice.
Important: If your Google Assistant reads text messages in the wrong language, remove English as a secondary language. Then change your Google Assistant’s voice language to match your Google Assistant’s language.

It would be great at least to set the default language for reading messages, of not able to detect autonomously.
In my case I have my phone in English (more features with google) but I receive messages in Italian and I reply in Italian as well.
I have many issues to understand the language I should use with android auto (I have set assistant in Italian but it not always works)

Same problem here. Chinese text messages or wechat messages were read in English pronunciation. This started sometime in this summer or fall. It was perfect before. I regret updating the app. If I remove the English from the Google assistant as suggested by the Community Specialist, Android Auto doesn't know what to do with the messages, saying it is still learning.

My phone is set to Polish language, the only Assistant language is set to Polish and when I receive an SMS in my car, it's read using English pronunciation even though the text is in Polish.
Android Auto used to work quite well a year ago. Each subsequent version brings more bugs. Sometimes it's also updates to Google App or Google Assistant that break things. It's unbelievable that a company the size of Google can't get this under control. Most of posts on this forum is ignored completely. This product is dangerous to use while driving because of its bugs. Sad.

I found what's causing the issue. It is the "Google" app.
I went to the phone settings -> apps -> selected the "Google" app and then I removed all app updates for the "Google" app (from ... menu). Now messages are read in the correct language. However, once I update the "Google" app everything is messed up again.
This is a temporary solution, but hopefully, the "Google" app will be repaired soon and everything will get back to normal. For now, I'm keeping the "Google" app out of updates.

If I ask my android auto a random question it replies in a language that sounds Korean or similar.
If I ask it to call someone it replies in English, which is what the language is set to.

I am having the same issue. Phone is in Danish, but messages are read in English voice. It works fine when I uninstall updates from the app Google. But returns to English when I reinstall updates.
Thank you for giving me the tip about the app Google.

As workaround by now you can:
- deactivate Google App automatic updates;
- remove the updates from Google App;
- Install Google App 10.92.9.21 from apkmirror.com
works like a charm. you also might want to subscribe to this thread so you'll get an official update from Google/Community Specialist when the issue is solved.

Hello. Thanks for your reponse. I tried the suggested setup and it did not work. The only way I was successful in having the assistant reading messages in spanish in Android Auto was by setting the main language of the phone to Spanish and deleting all English language options. The downside of this is that all the OS options are now in spanish and that's not what I wanted. I want the phone OS and commands to be in English and have Android Auto read the messages in Spanish. I think most of the people that posted in this thread wanted the same thing.
Any ideas?
Thanks again,

Eu já tinha tentado toda a configuração indicada pelo Paul, mas não tinha dado certo.

Ao tentar colocar em espanhol ou português de Portugal, a leitura das mensagens do WHATSAPP continuou em inglês.

How can you provide us an answer like that, when clearly multiple people have already stated that it doesnt work. One could think that in a leading company like Google someone would actually test and reproduce the issue, then fix it and not just try to ignore it.
Also having two languages set is a must as my native language doesnt support for example music commands yet and I need to provide them in english.
Anyway this was working with the older versions so clearly something changed. Please fix it so we dont have to roll back to the previous versions of the google app.
