Galaxy S8’s Bixby assistant said to support multiple languages at launch
Samsung’s rumored Bixby AI will not only be incredibly smart, but multilingual, too. According to a report from ETNews, the assistant will launch with support for up to eight languages, including Korean and Chinese.
If true, Samsung’s technology would be ahead of Google Assistant, which currently supports four languages (English, German, Brazilian Portuguese, and Hindi). Siri, meanwhile, supports 20 languages, although the assistant has been available since 2011.
Launching with more robust language support will, of course, give Bixby a wider appeal, which could be key to the assistant’s success. Although Bixby is launching in the shadow of assistants such as Google Assistant, Siri, Cortana, and Alexa, Samsung’s technology is said to be far superior, capable of understanding complex queries and follow-up questions.
