Canada has two official languages, English and Canadian French. While most Canadians are not bilingual, many Francophone Canadians continue to feel that having two official languages is an important part of being Canadian.
“With continued interest in prioritizing accessibility for Canadians, the introduction of Canadian French to Galaxy AI’s range of languages will break down language barriers for Canadian Galaxy users. As leaders in mobile AI innovation, this effort is enabling Canadian Galaxy users to communicate on a scale unique to Samsung.”
Raj Doshi, Head of Mobile Business, Samsung Canada
