Google Assistant might be in 52 countries, 17 more languages this year
June 15, 2025
Right now,Google Assistantis only available in eight languages: English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, and Portuguese. Likewise, theGoogle Home hardwareis only officially available in seven countries: Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Everyone else? You’re out of luck.
It seems that could change sometime this year.According to an image leakedfrom a presentation at the Digital News Initiative in Amsterdam,Googleplans to make Assistant available in 17 more languages across a total of 52 countries. That’s more than a 200% increase on both fronts.
Now, this doesn’t come directly from Google and therefore should be taken with several pounds of salt. The presentation at the DNI conference featured a map, depicted in the tweet below. As you’re able to see, the map says nothing about Google, Google Assistant, or Google Home. It’s a map of the world with some parts white and some parts blue, and a title that just says, “More Locales in 2018.”
The person who tweeted the map is a journalist from the Netherlands who was in attendance at the conference. His caption under the graph roughly translates to, “The first official announcement by Google: Google Assistant is coming to the Netherlands this year (we are blue on the map!)” That may seem like pretty solid evidence, butthe other slides he tweetedout from the conference have nothing to do with Google Assistant, so it seems strange that Google would throw that in there.
If true though, this would be a huge boon for people outside of Google’s current list of Assistant-friendly countries, and represent yet anothermassive push by the companyto get Assistant and related Home productsinto as many hands as possible. But whether this will all happen this year at this fast of a pace is exceptionally suspect for right now.
