Hindi is the national language of India, a country with more than a billion people and countless regional languages. Google has long received requests to enable users to speak to Google Assistant in Hindi and that’s something that they can finally do starting today. Google has finally made it possible to talk to Google Assistant in Hindi.
Google actually enabled Hindi support for its virtual assistant earlier this year but at that point in time, it could only answer select queries. Now, though, the full Google Assistant in Hindi experience is rolling out thus enabling users to conversate with the assistant in this language.
Users can now access all of the features that Assistant offers by giving it voice commands in Hindi. They can have it search for directions to the nearest coffee shop or tell them whether or not their favorite team won the cricket match, and a lot more. Google Assistant isn’t just capable of understanding queries in Hindi, it’s also capable of replying to those queries in Hindi as well.
“The Google Assistant is truly Indian, it’s your helpful dost that speaks our language and understands the things you care about, from finding biryani recipes, to pulling up the latest cricket score, or finding directions to the nearest ATM,” said Google Assistant technical program manager Purvi Shah.
Google Assistant in Hindi is available on devices running Android 6.0 Marshmallow and up. It will soon arrive on devices running Lollipop as well as on Android Go phones and iPhones.
