Artificial intelligence is only as useful as its ability to understand you seamlessly in your native tongue. Recognizing this, Samsung is rolling out a significant language expansion across its mobile intelligence suite, broadening the reach of both Galaxy AI features and the Bixby voice assistant.
The core objective behind this update is simple: breaking down language barriers and making smart device controls, contextual suggestions, and automated tasks accessible in the languages people actually speak every day.
Whether you rely on real-time translation, contextual prompts, or voice commands to control your phone hands-free, this update brings enhanced regional support directly to millions of Galaxy users worldwide.

1. Galaxy AI Language Additions
Samsung’s suite of AI translation and communication features—including Live Translate, Interpreter mode, Note Assist, and Chat Assist—is getting key new entries:
Hungarian
Malay
These additions allow speakers of Hungarian and Malay to interact natively across system apps, translate calls live on-device, and compose messages with tone adjustments tailored to local nuances.
2. Expanded Regional Reach for Now Nudge
Samsung’s contextual assistance tool, Now Nudge, which proactively offers smart reminders and action suggestions based on screen activity and habit patterns, is gaining support for 8 additional languages. This ensures that contextual alerts and subtle daily recommendations feel far more natural and accurate across localized regions.
3. Bixby Gets Voice Support in 3 New Languages
Bixby continues to act as the primary hands-free device controller for system settings, camera triggers, and smart home routines. The voice assistant is adding complete spoken support for:
Polish
Thai
Vietnamese
With these additions, users in Poland, Thailand, and Vietnam can use natural voice commands to launch camera modes, toggle settings, run multi-step routines, and manage connected SmartThings devices without relying on English or secondary languages.
Deep-Dive: Impact on Core Galaxy AI Features
To understand why this expansion matters, here is how the new language packs directly improve everyday usage across supported devices:
Live Call Translation: Real-time bi-directional audio and text translation during phone calls now supports native conversations in Hungarian and Malay without relying on third-party translation tools.
Interpreter Mode: Dual-screen translation on Galaxy foldables allows seamless face-to-face dialogues, showing translated text on both the cover screen and main display simultaneously.
Transcript & Note Assist: Automatically transcribe, summarize, and translate recorded voice meetings or long text documents directly inside Samsung Notes.
Contextual Bixby Routines: Speak complex multi-step commands natively, such as setting custom battery-saving routines or controlling smart appliances in Polish, Thai, or Vietnamese.
Rollout Timeline and Regional Availability
Samsung is executing a staggered rollout strategy to deliver these new capabilities smoothly across its flagship and mid-range portfolio:
Bixby Language Updates: The rollout for Polish, Thai, and Vietnamese voice support begins today via system app updates through the Galaxy Store.
Galaxy AI & Now Nudge Expansion: The new language packs for Hungarian, Malay, and the additional Now Nudge locales will arrive progressively over the coming weeks through regional firmware and Galaxy AI software pack updates.
How to Download and Enable New Language Packs
Once the update reaches your region, activating the new language packs takes just a few steps:
Open Settings on your Samsung Galaxy smartphone or tablet.
Navigate to Advanced Features > Galaxy AI.
Select the specific tool (such as Live Translate, Interpreter, or Chat Assist).
Tap Language Packs and select the download icon next to your preferred language (e.g., Hungarian or Malay) to enable offline on-device processing.
For Bixby, go to Settings > Bixby > Language and Voice Style and select your preferred spoken language.
This steady expansion highlights Samsung’s commitment to building a truly localized AI platform—ensuring advanced mobile intelligence feels intuitive, accessible, and native for users around the globe.
