- Google is all set to enter new markets with its smart home speaker to take on Amazon’s Echo - thanks to the company's multi-language support.
- Google’s virtual assistant supports up to 30 languages – and it is allowing Spaniards to make Español the default language of the assistant.
- The virtual assistant can now speak, understand, and process three dialects of Spanish – EE.UU (Estados Unidos), España, and Mexico.
It is believed that Google is determined to push sales of its Google Home device to multiple new markets this year. For that matter, the company has incorporated its virtual assistant AI into the smart home speaker in order to compete against Amazon. Digitimes Research reported that Google seeks to take on Amazon in the smart home market – therefore, it will be expanding its global footprints into several new markets. However, Google has an edge over Amazon due to its multi-language support. Google Assistant AI can now understand and process up to 30 languages while Alexa can support only three languages.
