Expanded language support for building and editing spreadsheets with Gemini

Earlier this year, we introduced new Gemini in Sheets capabilities that allow you to build and edit entire spreadsheets using simple natural language. Google now expanding support for these features to 28 additional languages, enabling users who speak Spanish, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean, Italian, French, German, Chinese Simplified, Dutch, Hebrew, Polish, Turkish, Czech, Indonesian, Malay, Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, Arabic, Finnish, Vietnamese, Ukrainian, Greek, Thai, Romanian, Russian, Catalan, and Hungarian to collaborate natively with Gemini in their preferred language.

With this update, users can leverage the full functionality of Gemini to build and edit spreadsheets by issuing prompts in their native language. Whether users are updating budgets, building complex financial models, or conducting data analysis, Gemini leverages Sheets tools—such as tables, pivot tables, charts, and formulas—to execute tasks. This enables global teams to manage data more efficiently, automate workflow execution, and extract valuable cross-document insights without confronting language barriers.

Getting started

Admins: This feature is available by default if Gemini for Workspace in Sheets is enabled. Note that enabling Workspace Intelligence expands the range of supported use cases.
End users: You must have Workspace smart features enabled to take advantage of these features. Eligible users will see the Gemini icon in the Sheets side panel. Simply describe the spreadsheet or edit you need to begin collaborating. Visit the Help Center to learn more about building and editing spreadsheets with Gemini in Sheets.
