The Google Assistant Service uses a speech recognition engine that can
understand one of a wide variety of languages. These languages are
specified within a DialogStateIn
message's language_code
field or by using
the Google Assistant app
.
The language code field consists of a BCP-47
identifier. These tags are
typically of the form language
- region
, where language
refers to
the primary language and region
refers to the region (usually a
country identifier) of the particular dialect. For example, English
may either be represented by American English ( en-US
), or British
English ( en-GB
).
The Google Assistant Service can recognize speech and respond back accordingly
in the following languages.
