Samsung Expands Language Support Across AI Experiences on Galaxy

Samsung is expanding language support for Galaxy AI[1] and Bixby[2], bringing these experiences to more users in their own language.

Galaxy AI[1] is expanding language support across more of its features, starting with those that translate, transcribe and summarise. Call Assist, Note Assist, Interpreter and Transcript Assist will include Hungarian and Malay, bringing Live Translate to 24 languages.[3]

Elsewhere in Galaxy AI[1], Now Nudge, which suggests a relevant next step based on what is on screen, adds eight languages[4] to reach 24 as well.

Bixby[2] is a device agent that offers intuitive device control through natural conversation. Users can ask for what they need in their own words, which may reduce the need to know the exact name of a setting or where to find it in a menu. With the addition of Polish, Thai and Vietnamese, Bixby now supports 12 languages,[5] allowing more Galaxy users to control their devices more effortlessly.

Bixby’s[2] new languages will begin rolling out in Australia on October 14,[6] with the new Galaxy AI[1] languages to follow in the coming weeks.[7]
