Google is announcing support for another 13 languages in its Voice Search app for Android, bringing the total up to 42. The company already had a lot of difficult-to-implement languages like Arabic and Chinese taken care of, but this update fills some big holes in Europe with the addition of Portugese, Norwegian, Romanian, and Hungarian. Google says that the update is already rolling out, an effort that should be completed sometime next week.
