Samsung says Galaxy AI adds Hungarian and Malay, to 24 languages, and Bixby adds Polish, Thai, and Vietnamese, to 12. Bixby rollout starts October 14.

What the newsroom counted

On October 13, 2026, Samsung Newsroom Colombia said Galaxy AI was adding languages to translation and transcription features, and that Bixby was adding languages too. The note says Call Assist, Note Assist, Interpreter, and Transcript Assist now include Hungarian and Malay, for 24 languages in total, and that Now Nudge also reaches 24. It says Bixby adds Polish, Thai, and Vietnamese, for 12 languages. Bixby's new languages begin rolling out on October 14. Galaxy AI's arrive over the following weeks. The page filing those counts isFutureweb.

What is a rollout, not an install tonight

A reader whose phone does not yet offer Polish, Thai, or Vietnamese in Bixby on the morning of October 14 is not contradicting the note. The note says the rollout begins that day. It does not say every device has the pack already. The desk is Asked directly, Which features get Hungarian and Malay? Call Assist, Note Assist, Interpreter, and Transcript Assist. The newsroom says those tools then cover 24 languages. The document named in the sources is the record this page will keep.Mobile.

What the English accounts are for

SamMobile and PhoneArena published English accounts on October 14. This page uses them as the check that the expansion was reported outside the Spanish-language newsroom, and it uses the newsroom for the integers. A vendor schedule on another phone, filed the day before, is Asked directly, When does Samsung say Bixby's new languages start? October 14, 2026. The newsroom says Galaxy AI's new languages arrive progressively over the following weeks, not on that same day.

Why the 2025 count is a different document

Samsung's India newsroom, dated October 30, 2025, said Galaxy AI would support 22 languages after Filipino and Gujarati. That is not this note. Treating 22 as the 2026 total would erase Hungarian, Malay, and a year. The open-source desk, for a browser language pack rather than a vendor assistant, is Asked directly, Is an older 22-language Galaxy AI post the same update? No. Samsung's India newsroom said 22 languages in October 2025, with Filipino and Gujarati. The October 13, 2026 note is a later count.Open Source.

What this page will not treat as on-device proof

The newsroom does not, in the text used here, say whether the new languages run on the phone or on a server. An on-device claim would be a different sentence. This page will not borrow one from a different product. What an app sandbox stops is a different limit, Asked directly, How many languages does the newsroom give Bixby after the addition? Twelve, after Polish, Thai, and Vietnamese. The document named in the sources is the record this page will keep.what an app sandbox stops.

What Now Nudge is, in the note

The newsroom describes Now Nudge as suggestions based on what is on screen, and says it adds eight languages to reach 24 as well. Those eight are the newsroom's aside. This page does not invent their names if the sentence in hand does not list them. The listed names this page will repeat are Hungarian, Malay, Polish, Thai, and Vietnamese. The document named in the sources is the record this page will keep. The document named in the sources is the record this page will keep.

What to watch next

A device that actually offers the new Bixby languages is the next check, and Samsung says that starts October 14 and may take time. A newsroom correction of 24 or 12 would replace the counts. A phone review that only says more languages would not. Store review does not prove a language pack is present, Asked directly, Do SamMobile and PhoneArena replace the newsroom? They are English-language accounts of the expansion. This page keeps the counts printed on Samsung's newsroom. The document named in the sources is the record this page will keep.what store review does not prove.

What would change the record

An English Samsung newsroom that prints a different total would make this page say the language versions disagree. A delay past the following weeks, if Samsung says the Galaxy AI packs slipped, would change the schedule sentence. SamMobile repeating the newsroom would not. The short answer this page will stand on is this: Hungarian and Malay join Call Assist, Note Assist, Interpreter, and Transcript Assist, which Samsung says then cover 24 languages. Bixby adds Polish, Thai, and Vietnamese, which Samsung says then cover 12. Bixby's new languages start rolling out October 14. Galaxy AI follows over the next weeks.

What stays Samsung's count

What stays specific is Samsung Newsroom Colombia on October 13, 2026: Hungarian and Malay on Call Assist, Note Assist, Interpreter, and Transcript Assist, a stated total of 24 languages, Now Nudge also at 24, and Bixby adding Polish, Thai, and Vietnamese for a stated total of 12. Bixby begins October 14. Galaxy AI follows over the following weeks. SamMobile and PhoneArena are the English accounts of the expansion. The October 2025 note of 22 languages is an older document and is not subtracted or added into this one. No accuracy figure for recognition is in the newsroom text this page is using, so none is invented here. A phone that has not received the pack yet is still inside the rollout sentence.
