Google announced it will launch Google Assistant in 38 new countries throughout 2018. The addition of the new country makes Google's virtual assistant available in 52 countries around the world.

Countries that will receive virtual personal assistant support include Russia, the Netherlands, Sweden, Italy, Saudi Arabia, and others. In addition to reaching more locations, Google Assistant will also learn 17 new languages, including Russian, Arabic, Dutch and Indian.

Currently, Google Assistant supports English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Spanish and Portuguese. Google Assistant is also available in Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Japan, United Kingdom, and the United States.

However, until now, no information is available regarding the time of Google Assistant launch in the new country, and new language support capabilities are implemented. Google is expected to reveal a map of its expansion plans at the DNI Summit.

With the availability of Google Assistant support in the new country, Google hopes to increase the sales of its Google Home series smart speakers.

This device relies on Google Assistant to handle user requests for enabling and disabling smart devices, broadcasting music, getting weather forecast information and so on.
