Google Bard rolls out its largest update, now available in all 27 EU countries and Brazil

With the goal of embracing a more global community, Bard is now accessible in over 40 additional languages including but not limited to Arabic, Chinese (both Simplified and Traditional), German, Hindi, and Spanish. In terms of geography, the application is now available in all 27 countries within the European Union (EU) and Brazil, taking a giant leap towards extensive international availability.

This global expansion is a product of the successful language support experience Bard gained through its English, Japanese, and Korean versions. These strides ensure Bard can reach and serve a larger demographic, providing the majority of internet users the opportunity to explore their creativity.

Enhanced Visual Interactivity

In a bold move to empower users to express their creativity in unprecedented ways, Bard is integrating Google Lens. This feature allows users to upload images alongside text, offering a robust visual dimension to their Bard conversations. This integration, initially launching with English, is a testament to Bard’s commitment to cultivating a rich and engaging creative environment.

Voice-Enabled Interactions

Text-to-speech capabilities have been incorporated into Bard, broadening its accessibility features. The feature is being launched in over 40 languages, including Hindi, Spanish, and US English. This new functionality will add an auditory dimension to the application, helping users envision their ideas in a different light and potentially spark further creative insight.

User-Friendly Conversation Management

Bard has significantly upgraded its conversation management features, enabling users to have a more personalized and organized user experience. Users can now pin their critical conversations, rename them, and manage multiple conversations simultaneously. This feature ensures users can keep track of their creative processes and ideas more efficiently.

Sharing Conversations

Recognizing the power of shared creativity, Bard has made it easier to share conversations. Users can now generate shareable links to their Bard chat, making it easy for others to view their creative process and final products. This feature fosters a community of shared inspiration and collaboration.

Tailored Responses

In a bid to offer a more personalized experience, Bard is launching 5 new options to help users modify the application’s responses. The response can now be tweaked to be simpler, longer, shorter, more professional, or more casual, according to the user’s needs. This development aims to streamline the creative process and help users articulate their ideas more accurately.

Code Export Features

For those who use Bard for programming tasks, the application has expanded its export capabilities. Users can now export Python code to Replit, adding to the previously available Google Colab export option. This feature exemplifies Bard’s mission to make creativity and productivity accessible across various platforms.

Bard’s new enhancements and features underline its commitment to fostering a global creative community. It’s more than just an application; Bard is shaping up to be a multifaceted platform for imagination, collaboration, and creativity.
