Spanish, the second most ordinarily speech within us, is now more accessible on Google’s Nest Hub and Hub Max smart displays. Google announced the expanded support today, noting that its smart home products can now display text in Spanish also as English, plus they now support additional Spanish language queries and more.
Nest Hub and Hub Max users can now ask their smart device to perform an action or retrieve information en español, including telling Google Assistant to play their favorite podcast or musical genre, look for information, activate a YouTube channel, find recipes, or initiate video calls.
The Spanish-language queries still start with the “Hey Google” wake phrase. Users preferring to use the Nest smart display in Spanish can enable the language by heading into the Google Assistant settings, then selecting Languages — you’ll need to use the Google Home app to perform this step.
In addition to saying queries in Spanish, Google says that users also can play Loteria, a Mexican Bingo game, using the command, “Hey Google, Habla con Loteria Don Clemente.” the sport features a “fully-recorded giveaway host,” also as sound effects and music.
Beyond that, Google has also added Spanish phrases for actions like putting items on a shopping list or pulling up a camera feed, among other things. Nest Hub and Hub Max users can head over to Google’s blog for the complete list of changes, including a version of the announcement in Spanish.
