Amazon Alexa to get multilingual support In India starting next month

At its w annual fall hardware event in Seattle, Amazon anunced that its Alexa voice assistant will get multilingual support in India starting next month. This means Alexa users will be able to seamlessly switch between Hindi and English as part of ir general conversation instead of manually going into settings to change ir langu preferences. anuncement comes just a month after Amazon anunced Hindi langu support for Alexa. 

Amazon is tably rolling out multilingual support globally. Just like India is getting support for Hindi and English, Alexa users in US will be able to access English and Spanish, while users in Canada will be able to switch between Canadian English and French as and when y like – without going into settings. 

move is primarily geared towards homes where more than one langu is part of communication. “With billions of people in world speaking more than one langu, many homes are t homogeus when it comes to langus anymore," company said in a blog post. 

“Starting next month, customers will be able to switch between English and Hindi when talking to Alexa. For example, if a customer asks for wear in Hindi, Alexa will reply in Hindi, example “Alexa, aaj mausam kaisa hai?” and when y ask for information in English, Alexa will understand and respond in English example "Alexa, tell me about Chandrayaan-2". This multi-lingual mode can be useful in Indian households where users speak both Hindi and English.” 

Alexa won’t be only voice assistant doing multilingual though. In fact, one can say that it is only playing catch up with Google w. Google Assistant got multilingual support in India last year. 

At its w annual fall hardware event, Amazon also anunced a slew of hardware for Indian market including Echo third generation and Echo Dot with clock, and what is its most premium high-end smart speaker to date, aka Echo Studio.
