Here’s a look at why this problem occurs and how to fix it using the Google Assistant app on any Android device.

Causes for Why You Can’t Change Google Assistant’s Language

Google Assistant works best with English, but it’s designed to work with other languages as well. Your smartphone, however, is likely designed to support more languages than Google Assistant offers. Suppose you set your phone to a language that Google Assistant does not yet support, such as English (Jamaica). When this happens, Google Assistant may prevent you from changing its input language. The easiest way to regain the ability to change Google Assistant’s language is to change the language setting in your phone to English (United States), which has the most complete support in Google Assistant. If doing that allows you to change Google Assistant’s language to your preferred language, you can go back into your phone’s settings and change the system language to something you’re comfortable with.
