Nest hub linked to child's account in proper language

Justino — Fri, 08 Dec 2023 19:42:16 GMT

Hello everyone,

I would like to set up two Nests hubs, one for each of my children, so that (1) the display language is in French (not just the language used by Google Assistant), (2) they cannot control each other's nest and (3) they have acces to their photos (but not mine). Is this possible? The goal is for them to use the nests as an alarm clock, to listen to music, YouTube, etc.

More details: each child has their own Gmail account attached to mine through Family Link. One child has an android phone while the other does not have a phone. My Google account is in English, while theirs are French. Google assistant is set up on my account for both French and English.

I have looked through many threads here and elsewhere but I can't figure out how to do this.

Thanks

Family link managed accounts cannot setup a device, so you would change your device/account language to French, setup each device with your account first, then add their account to each device respectively.

Go to your Google account settings using the account you will use to setup the Nest Hubs. Change the language to French.
Open your phone or tablet's settings app and change the region/language to French. Remove any other languages. You can add these back after setting up the Nest Hubs.
Uninstall the Google Home app from your phone or tablet, and reinstall it.
Setup the Nest Hubs using your account.
Add your child's account to each Nest Hub respectively.

Unfortunately, child accounts cannot play YouTube videos or songs from YouTube Music.

Hi David,

That worked to change the language on the nest hub. Thanks!

Unfortunately, when trying to link my kids to their hub, the Google Home app says that it does not have access to wifi. Which is strange since I am most definitely connected to the wifi. I'm trying to fix that and will keep you informed.

Thanks,

Justin
