Samsung's Galaxy AI Now Translates Hungarian and Malay — and More Languages Are Coming

If you've ever tapped "translate this call" on your phone and watched it struggle, or wished your phone could turn a long voice memo into text you can search, this update is for you.

Samsung says it is widening language support for both Galaxy AI (the bundle of AI features on recent Galaxy phones) and Bixby (Samsung's voice assistant — the "Hey, Bixby" helper built into the phone). The first wave of this expansion focuses on the four tools most people reach for when language gets in the way.

Here's what each one does, in plain terms:

• Call Assist — translates your phone call in real time, so you can talk to someone who speaks another language without hanging up to type into a separate app.
• Note Assist — tidies up and summarizes your notes. Useful after meetings, lectures, or a long brain-dump.
• Interpreter — translates face-to-face conversations on the spot, usually on a split-screen view you can hand to the other person.
• Transcript Assist — turns recorded audio (a meeting, a class, a voice memo) into written text you can read, search, and copy.

With this update, those four features now understand and produce Hungarian and Malay on top of the languages they already supported. Samsung says the expansion will continue to more languages and more features over time. Bixby, the voice assistant, is also part of the broader push.

Wrap-up

Two new languages for four tools may sound small, but it points at a bigger shift: the AI built into your phone is slowly catching up with how real people talk, write, and listen. If you've been meaning to explore what your Galaxy can already do, this is a good week to open the Galaxy AI settings and try one feature you haven't used before.
