Change the language of Google Assistant

You can change the language of your Google Assistant, or add an additional language to speak to the Assistant in two languages. Changes to your Assistant’s language will affect all Google Nest and Home devices linked to your account.

Note: Some devices may not support all languages in all regions.

Change your Google Assistant's language

Before you change your Google Assistant’s language, make sure your mobile device or tablet is connected to the same Wi-Fi network or linked to the same account as your Google Nest or Google Home speaker or display.

To change your language:

Add a second language to Google Assistant

If you add a second language to your Google Assistant, it can recognize either of the languages you’ve chosen. Before you change your Google Assistant’s language, make sure your mobile device or tablet is connected to the same Wi-Fi network or linked to the same account as your speaker or display.

To add a second language to your Assistant:

Talk to your Google Assistant in either language

It’s easy to talk to your Assistant when you’ve chosen more than one language. When you say "Hey Google" followed by a voice command, your Assistant will answer in the language you use after "Hey Google."

Your Assistant can’t recognize more than one language in the same phrase, for example: “Hey Google, set a timer for drei Minuten.”

Note: You can also change the voice of your Google Assistant. This feature is only available in the U.S.
