Google's Bard AI chatbot can now converse in 40 languages. See its new features

Google has come up with a significant update to Bard. The AI chatbot now has the ability to converse and respond in over 40 languages. Although originally launched with proficiency in just three languages, namely English, Korean and Japanese, Bard has evolved and acquired knowledge of languages like German, Hindi, Spanish, Arabic, Chinese and more.

Google claims that Bard now supports "the majority of language coverage on the internet," implying comprehensive language capabilities. Beyond multilingual prowess, Bard has also acquired a distinct voice. In the UK, the chatbot is designed with a male persona, which resembles the tone of a voice actor in a television advertisement. It is noteworthy as digital assistants like Siri and Alexa have female voices.

Google's ongoing development of Bard includes expanding its availability to more countries like European Union nations and Brazil.


Bard, which still remains in the trial phase, also introduces a range of additional improvements. Users can now upload images for analysis by leveraging Google's image-recognition tool, Lens. During a preview, Google demonstrated the ability of Bard to generate humorous captions for a picture featuring a pair of dogs. Furthermore, Bard can already respond to user inquiries using images.

To enhance user satisfaction, Google offers the option to modify responses of Bard, allowing users to customize the tone and length of the answers of chatbot. Additionally, conversations can be easily shared with others via chat links, a feature that has been available in ChatGPT for some time. Other new features include formatting and saving options, streamlining the management of multiple conversations, and the ability to export Python code to the code-writing platform Replit.
