Summary

Assistant Actions on Google has expanded its availability to British English users, allowing apps built for the Google Assistant to function on Google Home, select Android phones, and iPhones in the UK. Developers are encouraged to optimize their apps for the en-GB audience by selecting from four new TTS voices with British accents and adjusting response text for language differences. Apps like Akinator and Blinkist Minute have already tailored their experiences for these users. Updated developer tools and documentation are available to facilitate the creation, testing, and deployment of apps for the new language setting, with plans for further language expansions in the future. Developers seeking guidance on internationalization can connect with the team via Stackoverflow and Google+.
