Hello,
on the stock Jelly Bean ROM, for now for Google Now to be able to speak, we need the Xoom to be set in English language (both the Android menus and the Google Now language).
If we choose French or Spanish as the Jelly Bean language, and change the Google Now language to French or Spanish, then Google Now does not speak anymore.
As the stock ROM does not have the "download language pack" button (anyway, even with custom JB ROMs including this button, I never heard a Xoom speaking any other language than English, is it possible on custom ROMs ?), does anyone know if and when Google planned to add other languages for Google Now to speak other than English ?
Thanks

Nobody has an idea ? I couldn't find any information about this issue, it seems nobody cares about Google Now only speaking english ... I don't understand ...
Accessibility- then tap Google text to speach you will see install voice data, German ,Spanish ,French and Italian is the choice I see to download..not sure if it is what you are looking for..

Google Now will only speak if you choose english. It will not speak if you choose another language.
So my question is : does anyone know when Google will let Google Now speak other language than english ?

What's strange is that I couldn't find any information about that nowhere. Just like if only english speakers are using Google Now, and the rest of the world does not care ...
I really don't understand ...

Hi all,
I have bought a WiFi Xoom in US but it's a gift for someone who doesn't speak English. Does anyone know where to download the stock image that contains Italian?
Many thanks!

Bad news, not available and might not become available.
Two options: install a free kernel and add 0.5 language pack (major event)
or
use more locale app and change manually to "it US".
All apps will be in Italian, just the system will still be in English.

thanks hdtvpower!
nice app, I installed it, though for someone that does not speak one word in English and is new to technology in general (and not that young anymore ) even just the system settings in English could be a big issue. I guess I better return this device and get a European one.
thanks for your help.

Thanks Repeating: I don't think Eli types English like yoda. He may have been using Google translate the whole time and it turns out Google translate reads Hebrew like yoda. So, if anyone knows how to stick a Hebrew language pack into a custom rom, (SUCH AS CM9 BUT ANY OTHERS AS WELL) help a fellow human being out?

Hello,
I've purchased an HOS from a retailer in Romania. I've received a device which was intended for France.
No biggie, but I'm not able to change the system language - I have only English (France) as a viable option.
Is there a way to change the "country" of the device ? I'm not interested on the Google Play market, but rather the device "ID".
I really need you help to point me in the right direction...
So when you started the device first time and the guide came on. You couldnt choose anything but english?
I could choose from Deutch, English, Espanol, Francais, Italiano, Netherlands and Portuges.
No Romanian whatsoever.
If I go to Language and keyboard, the language is reported as English (France).
I got same, my phone is also from France...
I think it should be possible to do so somehow, as the soft should be same for all devices.
Please see my post HERE it'll get you fixed up.
Man, it worked like a charm.
Don't really understand why wasn't available from the initial selection.
Greetings and recognition upon you.
Glad to help.
Hello,
I am french and I run the official stock JB release. I tried to use Google Now and thought I would be able to ask questions and my answer would then be spoken like I saw on youtube videos, but it's not the case ...
All it does is display the answer, but does not speak like SIRI does ... I downloaded the french voice pack, I activated voice everywhere in JB, but still does not talk ...
I then tried in english but still no voice !
Am I missing something ? Is Google Voice only a pre-release and will only be speaking in futures releases ?
EDIT : it seems that the button named "download offline speech recognition" is not present in the official stock JB release, and we need to click on it to download files which will let Google Now speak ... Does anyone know why this button is not there ? Will it be there in a future release ?
Thanks for your help !
Hi there!
I have a big question, in June you have posted a way to have Google Assistant on Lollipop. Now it is gonna be able in Spanish, and I need to know if that way would work in that language too (because Google says only on Marshmallow +). In English, It works perfectly, but if I change the language of my phone, it says "Google Assistant does not yet support the language Spanish (Mexico). I still have that old Google App version; and I know that Assistant in Spanish is gonna be released in the coming few weeks, but I need to be sure. Thanks!
