How to Add a Second Language to Google Home

Google Assistant isn’t limited to English-language commands. It’s possible to add any two supported languages and speak to your device in either one. Here’s a look at adding a second language to Google Assistant to control your Google Home devices. Use the Google Home app for iOS or Android to add a second language to your speaker. The process is similar for either operating system.

You can’t use a combination of languages in your instructions. For example, suppose you set English and Spanish as your languages. In that case, Google Home won’t understand, “Hey Google, set a timer por favor.” If other family members who use the speaker want to use a second language, each user must set up Voice Match with the device in each language. This way, Google Assistant will recognize and respond to each user in their preferred language.
