Samsung is adding Hungarian and Malay to Galaxy AI tools for translating calls, interpreting conversations and working with notes and transcripts, taking features including Live Translate to 24 languages. Bixby is also gaining Vietnamese, Polish and Thai, bringing its language count to 12. Samsung schedules the Bixby rollout to begin on October 14, while the Galaxy AI additions are due over the coming weeks.
The Hungarian and Malay expansion covers Interpreter and Call Assist, alongside Transcript Assist and Note Assist, extending support across tools for translation, transcription and summaries. Now Nudge separately gains eight languages, also reaching a total of 24.

Now Nudge uses the content on a user's screen to suggest a relevant action to take next, according to Samsung. Its additions include Turkish, Swedish and Dutch, as well as five other languages. Hungarian and Malay are among the additions to Now Nudge as well as the translation, note and transcript tools.
Samsung describes Bixby as an agent for controlling a device through conversational requests. The company says users can describe what they want without knowing a setting's precise name or its location in the menus. Access requires both a data connection and a Samsung Account login, with functions that can differ by language and location.
Samsung says rollout timing and the features delivered can differ by device or country. Some additional Galaxy AI languages will be available as downloadable packs through Settings. The company's language totals treat regional variants, including those for English and Chinese, as parts of the same language rather than separate entries.
Bixby's speech recognition does not cover every dialect, accent or expression, and Samsung says results can depend on pronunciation, speaking volume and surrounding conditions. Its use can also be restricted during calls or media recording, and in modes including Samsung Kids and Maximum Power Saving mode.
The language expansion follows Samsung's Galaxy SmartTag3 introduction, which brought promised compatibility with both Galaxy phones and iPhones and a $29.99 single-tag price. That tracker is scheduled for U.S. sales by early November, with Compass View, Ring Phone and Left Behind Alert excluded from its iOS features.
