Samsung Expands Language Support for Galaxy AI and Bixby for Global Users

Samsung Expands Language Support for Galaxy AI and Bixby

On October 14, 2026, Samsung Electronics, headquartered in South Korea, announced significant updates to its Galaxy AI and Bixby services. The company has expanded the language support for both platforms, enabling a broader range of users to benefit from functionalities in their preferred languages.

Enhancements to Galaxy AI

Galaxy AI has been enhancing its capabilities in translation, transcription, and summarization by incorporating additional languages. The most recent updates have introduced Hungarian and Malay to the functions of Call Assist, Note Assist, Interpreter, and Transcription Assist, raising the total count of languages supported for real-time interpretation to 24. This remarkable build-up means users can comfortably communicate in various languages, whether in personal conversations or professional meetings.

The full list of languages supported by Galaxy AI now includes: Arabic, Chinese (Mainland, Hong Kong, Taiwan), Dutch, English (Australia, India, UK, US), Filipino, French (Canada, France), German, Gujarati, Hindi, Hungarian, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Malay, Polish, Portuguese (Brazil, Europe), Romanian, Russian, Spanish (Mexico, Spain, US), Swedish, Thai, Turkish, and Vietnamese.

This expansion is crucial as it not only enhances direct communication for users but also facilitates an inclusive experience, enabling users worldwide to engage seamlessly regardless of their mother tongue.

Now Nudge: Making Suggestions Smarter

Samsung is not stopping there; its Galaxy AI features a component called Now Nudge. This tool intelligently suggests the next steps based on the displayed screen content. Recently, the support for Now Nudge has also added eight more languages, bringing the total to 24. The newly included languages are Dutch, Filipino, Gujarati, Hungarian, Malay, Romanian, Swedish, and Turkish. This means users will receive guidance in choosing their next actions in a more personalized manner.

Bixby’s Conversation-Driven Interaction

Bixby is known for its conversational interface that allows users to operate devices more intuitively. With the latest language additions, including Polish, Thai, and Vietnamese, Bixby now supports a total of 12 languages, making it easier for more Samsung Galaxy users to operate their devices. The updated capability means users can interact with their devices using everyday language, without needing to recall the exact names of settings or the layout of menus.

The list of languages supported by Bixby includes: Chinese (Mainland), English (India, UK, US), French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese (Brazil), Spanish (Latin America, Spain), Thai, and Vietnamese. As the functionalities of Bixby continue to grow, users can expect a more comprehensive and versatile experience.

For Bixby to function optimally, users will need to have a Samsung account and a data connection, with availability varying by country and language. It’s important to note that while Bixby aims to recognize a broad range of accents and dialects, performance may differ based on pronunciation, volume, and environmental noise. There are also specific contexts, such as during video or game use, that may restrict Bixby usage due to battery-saving modes or other operational limitations.

Future Updates and Language Packs

The rollout of Bixby’s new language capabilities began on October 14 and will continue in phases. Galaxy AI’s latest language options are also set to be released in the coming weeks. Some of the newly added languages may be available for download as language packs directly from the settings app.

Samsung continues to prioritize user experience by developing and expanding their services. With these enhancements, they pave the way for more inclusive global communications, reflecting their commitment to connecting people across diverse regions and backgrounds.
