- Users in countries outside the US report that their Nest Doorbell announcements have inexplicably switched to an American accent.
- The issue reportedly does not occur with any other Google device interactions.
- One user claims that you can fix the issue by setting English (US) as your secondary language and deleting it after a few seconds.
Google Home has had a flare-up of issues in recent days. Most recently, Voice Match has been struggling to identify who’s speaking. As Google toils away on a fix for that problem, another odd bug has shown up unannounced. This issue specifically affects the Nest Doorbell.
Gemini for Home supports up to 10 languages, including English, French, German, Spanish, and Japanese. You can even pick a preferred accent, like US or UK English. While there may be some people who prefer to hear accents other than their own, most people tend to pick a voice that uses the same accent they do. Wouldn’t it be a bit jarring if your assistant suddenly started talking in your language but with a different accent?
