Google's AI smart speakers can now understand TWO languages at once

Google's AI assistant can now understand people even if they repeatedly switch between two languages during a conversation. This marks the first time an AI-powered voice assistant has been able to distinguish between two different languages during the same interaction. Google Assistant can now understand any pair of languages from English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, and Japanese. More languages are planned for a future update, Google says. Google hopes the upgrade will make using its Assistant easier in bilingual households, and says it could help people who are trying to learn a new language.
