Spanish language issues on Google Nest

IsraelPizano — Sat, 13 Dec 2025 04:00:30 GMT

I updated the Google Home app to Gemini and my Google Nest Audio stopped understanding and speaking Spanish, and now I can't talk to it. I've already reset it to factory settings, and in the initial setup it does speak Spanish, but when I add it to Google Home, it neither speaks nor understands Spanish, and now I can't control it or tell it anything.
I need to fix this urgently.

Hi @IsraelPizano,

Thanks for reaching out to the community! I understand that you have been experiencing some issues after updating your Google Home app to Gemini because your Google Nest Audio device stopped speaking and understanding Spanish. I appreciate you letting me know that you've already tried some troubleshooting steps. Let me help you with this.

Before we move forward, I need some information so I can provide the most accurate steps:

Is the Google Home app up to date?
What is the firmware version of your device?
Is the language set in your phone and in the Google Home app the same as the language you want on the speaker?

Once you provide this information, I will be happy to assist you further!

Hi Debora;

First of all, thank you for your response. The problem is that my Google Home Mini and Google Nest devices were configured to speak and respond in Spanish.

With the update to Gemini, they have unfortunately stopped understanding instructions in Spanish.

Regarding your questions, the answers are:

Is the Google Home app up to date?
- Yes, it is up to date. I have version 4.3.56.2 installed.
What is the firmware version of your device?
- The Google Nest system firmware version is 505721.
Is the language set in your phone and in the Google Home app the same as the language you want on the speaker?
- Yes, Spanish is configured in both cases, I have read about the same problem in other forums due to the change from Gemini and the use of Google assistants with the Spanish language. I hope I can count on your kind support.

Hi @IsraelPizano,

Thanks for the information! After reviewing your case, I want to clarify that following the Gemini update on the Google Home application, we are still working on full language support. Not all languages are 100% available with this update yet, but we are working to have them fully implemented by early 2026.

I understand this may not be the answer you were looking for, but your experience and thoughts are valuable to us. For that reason, we would love to hear more from you. You can leave your feedback by visiting our post, "Gemini for Home voice assistant - Two Week Recap." At the bottom of that post, you will find a section titled "Improving Gemini for Home" with instructions on how to submit feedback for this feature.

I hope this information helps!

Best regards,

Debora

Any update on when Spanish will be fully available? This has been a major issue for my family.

It is anticipated that they will likely add it around Google IO (sooner or later), which is May 19 and 20.

I used to talk fluently with Google Assistant in Spanish, and since they changed to Gemini its a complete chaos, does not understand anything, giving constantly wrong answers or results
