Google Home rooms and devices bilingual

Hi all,

I am Dutch and have my Google Home setup in Dutch, as the rooms and devices. So when I want to turn on the light in the Kitchen, I'll ask "Hey Google, zet keuken aan".

Now I have a Spanish girlfriend whom I speak English with. She loves to be able to talk to the Google Home too, but in English. 

How can I set up Google Home, with Dutch rooms and devices, to be used in English as well?

 

Thanks.

Hey there, 

All you need to do is add the English language in your assistant language settings. Maybe since she is you're girlfriend you can add her to Google home so she connects true her own Google account to your devices. Hope this was any help salutes from Rotterdam.

Hi MoLoss,

Thanks for your answer. I know I can put 2 languages in Google Home, but what I am running into, is that my rooms and devices are in Dutch. 

So, calling Hey Google, turn off Keuken is pretty weird. What I am looking for is how to have rooms and devices, in 2 languages. So my girl can call, Hey Google, turn of Kitchen, while I can say, Hey Google, zet Keuken uit.

Thanks.

Hey there in Rotterdam 😉

It's not about the languages to speak. 

What I meant is: my rooms and devices are in English now. I want to have them in Dutch. For example, Kitchen needs to be Keuken again. I would love to talk Dutch to my Google Home's again.

When my girl is here, I would love to see that she can talk English to Google Home, but when my rooms and devices are in Dutch, that does not work.

You get things like: Hey Google, turn off Keuken, which is not very handy 😂

 

I would love to know how I can make my Kitchen room Dutch but also in English.

 

Thanks.
