Google Expands Gemini For Workspace To Arabic Users
Starting this week, users can access Gemini’s AI capabilities in Google Docs, Sheets, Drive, and Gmail in 17 additional languages, including Arabic.
Google is broadening the capabilities of Gemini for Workspace, which now includes Arabic among a growing list of supported languages. Starting this week, users can access Gemini’s AI capabilities in the side panel of Google Docs, Sheets, Drive, and Gmail in the following 17 new languages:
Arabic, Chinese, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, Hebrew, Hungarian, Norwegian, Polish, Romanian, Russian, Swedish, Thai, Turkish, Ukrainian, and Vietnamese.
With this update, users can now draft social media posts in Docs, summarize complex files in Drive, or manage their Gmail inbox — all in their preferred language. Additionally, Gemini’s image generation feature now supports these languages as well.
Here are some of the ways Gemini can improve the way teams work:
- Gmail Integration: Sorting through emails can be overwhelming, especially for customer service teams. Gemini can now filter unread messages from clients and even draft responses in the user’s preferred language, streamlining communication.
- Docs Assistance: Marketing professionals can use Gemini to help craft more compelling content. Whether it’s overcoming writer’s block or drafting promotional copy for a product launch, Gemini provides instant, language-specific support.
- Drive Summaries: Sales teams often spend too much time searching for information across multiple documents. Gemini can now scan files, presentations, and notes, then present a concise summary in seconds — helping users prepare for key meetings more efficiently.

Users can research topics or brainstorm ideas in any of 40 supported languages using the Gemini app. Additionally, for international teams, Google Meet now offers translated captions in 69 languages, and Google Chat can automatically translate messages, making global collaboration even easier.

Google Releases Veo 2 AI Video Tool To MENA Users
The state-of-the-art video generation model is now available in Gemini, offering realistic AI-generated videos with better physics, motion, and detail.
Starting today, users of Gemini Advanced in the MENA region — and globally — can tap into Veo 2, Google’s next-generation video model.
Originally unveiled in 2024, Veo 2 has now been fully integrated into Gemini, supporting multiple languages including Arabic and English. The rollout now brings Google’s most advanced video AI directly into the hands of everyday users.
Veo 2 builds on the foundations of its predecessor with a more sophisticated understanding of the physical world. It’s designed to produce high-fidelity video content with cinematic detail, realistic motion, and greater visual consistency across a wide range of subjects and styles. Whether recreating natural landscapes, human interactions, or stylized environments, the model is capable of interpreting and translating written prompts into eight-second 720p videos that feel almost handcrafted.
Users can generate content directly through the Gemini platform — either via the web or mobile apps. The experience is pretty straightforward: users enter a text-based prompt, and Veo 2 returns a video in 16:9 landscape format, delivered as an MP4 file. These aren’t just generic clips — they can reflect creative, abstract, or highly specific scenarios, making the tool especially useful for content creators, marketers, or anyone experimenting with visual storytelling.

To ensure transparency, each video is embedded with SynthID — a digital watermark developed by Google’s DeepMind. The watermark is invisible to the human eye but persists across editing, compression, and sharing. It identifies the video as AI-generated, addressing concerns around misinformation and media authenticity.
While Veo 2 is still in its early phases of public rollout, the technology is part of a broader push by Google to democratize advanced AI tools. With text-to-image, code generation, and now video creation integrated into Gemini, Google is positioning the platform as a full-spectrum creative assistant.
Access to Veo 2 starts today and will continue expanding in the coming weeks. Interested users can try it out at gemini.google.com or through the Gemini app on Android and iOS.
