How to Activate Indonesian in Gemini Live
Enabling Indonesian language on Gemini Live is straightforward. Here’s how to set it up:
- On an Android phone or tablet, open the Google app and tap your profile picture or initial at the top.
- Tap Settings > Google Assistant > Languages.
- Select Bahasa Indonesia or any other supported language.
- You may choose an additional supported language as a second option.
With Gemini Live, users can engage in a conversational style similar to chatting with a friend, whether discussing ideas, exploring topics, or practicing presentations. This feature operates similarly to Google Assistant but offers a more interactive experience, allowing users to interrupt and add to responses, making for a more natural flow of conversation.
“By expanding Gemini Live language availability and app integration, we’re working to unlock the benefits of AI for people worldwide, enabling easier access to information and the advantages of AI-powered assistance,” Walter concluded.
