In more detail
NotebookLM's interface is available in Chinese (Simplified and Traditional) and the underlying Gemini model handles Chinese well for both ingestion and response. You can upload Chinese-language sources (PDFs, articles, web URLs, transcripts) and chat with the notebook in Chinese. Notebook Toolkit extends this with native Chinese-language capture from popular Chinese AI platforms: Qwen (Tongyi Qianwen), Kimi (Moonshot), Doubao (ByteDance), ERNIE Bot (Wenxin), and ChatGLM. The combination makes NotebookLM viable for Chinese researchers, students, and professionals — including bilingual workflows.
