Google Rolls Out Gemini Live with Japanese Language Support

Google has introduced an exciting update to its Gemini AI platform—Gemini Live now includes several languages, Japanese language also supported. This new feature brings a more natural, localized experience to Japanese-speaking users and is set to hit mobile devices in the coming weeks.

Expanding Gemini Live’s Language Capabilities

Earlier this month, Google extended Gemini Live’s language portfolio to over 40 languages, and now, with the addition of Japanese, users can expect more fluid interactions in one of the most widely spoken languages. This upgrade also enables users to converse with Gemini in up to two languages on the same device, a feature that’s expected to evolve further with future updates.

What Gemini Live Brings to the Table

Gemini Live is more than just an AI chatbot—it’s designed to provide intuitive, helpful assistance in a variety of everyday tasks. Whether you need to ask questions, plan an event, or brainstorm ideas, Gemini Live aims to make the process as seamless as possible. With the introduction of Japanese support, users will soon be able to engage with the AI in a more personalized, culturally relevant manner.

Here’s what you can expect from Gemini Live:

Ask for advice on anything from career choices to navigating local customs.
Plan events like birthdays, parties, or casual get-togethers.
Broaden your knowledge with questions on history, science, or even the rules of chess.
Explore local interests relevant to your location or hobbies, making it easy to stay informed about what matters to you.

How to Enable Japanese Language Support in Gemini Live

To switch Gemini Live into Japanese, follow these simple steps:

Open the Gemini app on your Android phone or tablet.
Tap your profile picture or initials at the top.
Navigate to Settings > Language.
Select Japanese or another supported language.
Optionally, add a second language for bilingual conversations. Gemini Live currently allows for two languages at once.

Once deployed, you will be able to talk with Gemini in Japanese and have quite a natural, interactive conversation, too, with Gemini. You also get to choose one of 10 voice styles for Gemini to mimic.

Enhanced Conversations with Gemini Live

Gemini Live can function as a real conversational partner: you can practise a presentation or casually chat, and then pick up where you left off. The AI keeps track of previous discussions, so you can always pause, get back to your working day, and then resume at your convenience – that kind of thing. You can brainstorm as long as you like with a knowledgeable, good-humoured friend – who only ever answers your questions when you ask them.

The Future of AI Conversations in More Languages

Ultimately, Google’s aim with Gemini Live is to make AI available to people in their own language, on their own terms wherever possible. Japanese language support is a sign of how they’ll accomplish that goal. Google is committed to building out the platform’s features, broadening who can reap the benefits of AI in the form and language they want and need.

Final Thoughts

Gemini Live’s expansion to include Japanese language support is a game-changer for those looking to engage with AI in a more intuitive and localized way. With more languages and features on the horizon, Google is continuing to refine the Gemini platform, bringing the future of AI-driven conversations to users across the globe. Whether you’re seeking advice, planning events, or just having a casual chat, Gemini Live offers a personalized experience that’s more engaging than ever before.

Note: Gemini Live will be available on select devices and accounts over the next few weeks. Availability may vary based on your location, language, and device.
