Android auto reads whatsapp only in english - Android Auto General

From time ago when i receive a Whatsapp, Telegram msg while i'm in Android Auto and touch to hear it the Assistant reads it in English (I'm Spanish)
It's ridiculous and difficult to understand spanish messages readed like english...
Any way to solve this?

I'm from Brazil and solved it this way:
(probably should work for you, but with Spanish instead of Brazilian Portuguese)
1. Change your Android language to English (Config > Sistema > Idioma e Entrada)
2. Restart your smartphone
3. Start the Google app > Settings > Voice, select Spanish
4. In your car ask for a message to be read (should already be read in Spanish)
5. Now you can set your Android language back to Spanish
From what I've read (not tested) if the phone is restarted you'll have to do everything again.

I'll try tomorrow. Regards

It is already solved with the latest GOOGLE update

Not for me (Dutch, living in the Netherlands); I use older Google version (Google_v11.19.13.21.arm_apkpure.com.apk), works fine in Dutch - newest Google version in play store still heavy (well funny!) English accent..

For me (Dutch, Belgium) it is also solved with the latest Google version

If your language not in assistant, switch back to google now. Then AA works like with old Google version.
[REQUEST] Module to Disable Google Assistant
Now that the US Virgin Island trick to avoid Google Assistant has been fixed, a module that disables Google Assistant will really help us who doesn't like it and want to use Now On Tap. Thanks!

Text to speech + gReader.

Ok, this is a bit weird and I'm sure that it's just an obscure setting somewhere on my device but...
I use gReader for my RRS/Google reader feeds. In it there is a great little function that uses the text to speech functions from either google or samsung to read aloud articles.
I've tried using TTS from both Google and Samsung - both seem to want to read to me in Spanish. So I go back to my homescreen - menu - settings - language and input - TTS output - I check all the settings make sure everything is set to English and to English UK where possible. I go back to gReader, find a wordy article and hit menu - voice reading - Still wants to read to me in Spanish.
So maybe it's a setting in gReader. I go to the in app settings, sure enough there is a settings page for the TTS. Nothing that suggests the language that will be used, with the exception of a check box asking if it should auto-translate. I uncheck this and try again. Still in Spanish.
Everything on my phone says I'm in England. Anyone know why Google TTS (when used in gReader) reads to me in Spanish?
On a sidenote the Samsung TTS does't seem to offer anything in English - however when used in Smartr alarm (the talking alarm clock app) - both Samsung TTS and Google TTS don't seem to have a problem reading to me in English.
Does anyone know whats going on or is this a case of just mailing the Developer?

[Q] Hidden updates?

Got update KXB21.85-23 (21.11.23.titan_retaildsds.retaildsdsall.end.03 reteu) yesterday.
I noticed when I go into Google Play Store > My apps and I slide to the "all" panel, there are 4 apps labeled "update" near the very bottom of the list:
Motorola Boot Services
Google Keyboard
Google Korean Input
Google Hindi Input
However I never get prompted to update them and they don't appear in the "installed" panel in Google Play Store > My apps like normal apps do when an update is available.
What's the deal here?
UPDATE: Both Hindi and Korean Google Input prompted for update via notification and now appear in "installed" under "updates".
Motorola Boot Service and Google Keyboard still only updatable through "all" and scrolling all the way down through hundreds of apps. Weird.
PS: I have the dual-sim model, if that makes any difference.

I have exactly the same version. Have these strange 'apps' too. why? I don't use Google Keyboard (i use Swiftkey). Nor do i speak Hindi or Korean (and I don't have any intention of writing in these languages.
In Swiftkey I can just download the languages I need (English and Dutch) within the app.
In my opinion these updates are just "contamination" of the OS.

Exactly, in my opinion, the moto g rom isn't pure android, it has a LOT of software that i don't need or want, i can't wait for a lollipop custom rom.

What were you doing down there in the first place?

I sometimes check the "all" list as I noticed some geo-restricted apps (that still work as intended after finding and installing the apk from a different source other than Google) would "fail" to show up in available updates or prompt for updates. If/when there's a more recent version, I usually can update it through the Play Store but I have to manually look for the app in the "all" list.

"Okay Google" - US English not a supported language?

I'm feeling really stupid tonight. I am trying to set up "Okay Google" to trigger Assistant and in Google settings, I'm told that I cannot setup it up as the current language isn't supported. Since I've selected US English I find that hard to understand. Am I missing something really simple? Thanks.
I also had this problem, UK as the primary language, but region was set to Romania. As soon as i set my region to UK, assistant started working.

ZTE AXON M how to convert Chinese version to English

Hello I got ZTE AXON M MODEL Z999 as gift... Butits a Chinese version. Although I have changed its language to english but still apps showing many messages in Chinese like weather app still showing weather and time in Chinese.
Also there is no google play store so,
How I convert this totally english?
And how to install new apps as there is no Google play store?
Hello Ikhalud,
First be sure you have the latest version of the system (Axon M CN 2.10 / Security patch 01 Feb. 2019). You can then install google play from the ZTE Market, works fine (use the photographic traduction from google traduction app with another phone for exemple or just type google play in search bar from ZTE Market). Some of the pre-installed chinese apps are un-installable, just go to settings, applications, and hit the uninstall button if available. You might want to keep some of them, like the gaming apps which get you a joystick like screen on one of the screens to use with your game on the other screen. If you reset the system you'll get everything back in case, so don't worry.
Then you can use another launcher, like Lawnchair or Nova in order to get rid of the rest of the chinese look. I think that Lawnchair doesn't display the names of the shortcuts in one of the display modes, Landscape if I'm right (don't know why, maybe it will be solved in an update).
If you need to install other languages, use More Locales 2 app from play store. You have to use ADB command from a computer connected to your phone with debugging on to grant permission to the app, type in an admin command terminal:
adb shell pm grant com.langs.locales android.permission.CHANGE_CONFIGURATION
Of course you have to have all drivers installed for you phone on your computer. Google is your god if you need more help, like always!
Enjoy your new phone, it's much better than any flexible screen one, the real way to go. Too bad it gets very limited support from ZTE, probably no more updates and no real development from our small user's community. But I keep hoping someone get us LineageOS or Mokee running on it.

Like in phone google assistant on third-party hardware

Hey.
Here's the current situation. Google Assistant in Poland works on phones (in the Polish language) but there's no support for the Polish language in any google devices like google nests, Lenovo, etc.
Is it possible to get some devices rooted and get Google Assistant running in the Polish language?
