My code:

with sr.Microphone() as source:
    audio = r.listen(source)
    try:
        print("You said: " + r.recognize_google(audio) + "in french")
    except sr.UnknownValueError:
        print("Google Speech Recognition could not understand audio")
    except sr.RequestError as e:
        print("Could not request results from Google Speech Recognition service")

I would like to change the listening language to french. How should i do that?

I was able to change the language of google speech recognition with this code:

import speech_recognition as sr
from googletrans import Translator

def Listen():
    r = sr.Recognizer()

    with sr.Microphone() as source:
        print("Listening...")
        r.pause_threshold = 1
        # listening duration 8 seconds
        audio = r.listen(source,0,8)

    try:
        print("Recognizing...")
        # hindi language
        query = r.recognize_google(audio,language="hi")
        print(query)
    
    except sr.UnknownValueError:
        print("Google Speech Recognition could not understand audio")
    except sr.RequestError as e:
        print(f"Could not request results from Google Speech Recognition service: {e}")

    query = str(query).lower()
    return query

print(Listen())

Hope this helps!
