It is possible to customize this tool for other languages by making suitable changes from the table for English. See https://cloud.google.com/translate/docs/languages for all the languages that Google supports for translation, text to speech and speech to text. This Robot uses all these resources and offers an experience of interacting with a machine in the form of "man-machine interaction partner".
