When will additional languages be available in Gemini?

Gemini API

I’m currently building an app that has 5 languages:
Spain, English, Galician, Basque and Catalonian.

For the first 2 it works. But the other 3 is throwing me a ResponseStoppedException and the reason is “UNKNOWN”
https://firebase.google.com/docs/reference/kotlin/com/google/firebase/vertexai/type/ResponseStoppedException

Probably due to languages not being available:

Now the question is, when will you start adding more languages? I offer dynamic responses based on the user language. (A chat, reports and json responses).

The supported languages are listed here: Gemini API  |  Google for Developers

I believe the actual finishReason the API returns for every other language not on the list is “OTHER”, which translates to Unknown reason. Presumably languages with a large enough training corpus made it into the list, languages with less material to train the model on didn’t.

Hope that helps!

Hey @OrangiaNebula,

I also believe that Gemini might not have been sufficiently trained in these other languages yet. But does anyone know when these languages will be available? Are we looking at late 2024, or will it be next year?
