Google expands AI Mode beyond English for the first time
Google has expanded its AI chatbot, integrated into Google Search, to support five new languages: Hindi, Indonesian, Japanese, Korean, and Brazilian Portuguese. This marks the first time the AI Mode feature has been available in languages other than English. The expansion is part of Google's efforts to build a "truly global Search" that goes beyond just translation and requires a deep understanding of local information and preferences. The advanced AI capabilities of the custom Gemini 2.5 model in Google Search are now available in these new languages, making the search experience more locally relevant and useful. The article notes that this move comes as Google has acknowledged the "rapid decline" of the open web, and the expansion of AI Mode is likely to be welcomed by publishers who have been experiencing declining web traffic from Google Search.
