This is why I think Google assistant is absolutely useless. Try to call someone who has a name in X language on a device that is set to English. You just can't. I love Big tech circle jerk about diversity, that somehow stops at skincolor, gender and sexual identity. You happens to bilingual? Sorry our cutting edge AI can't handle that.

Google all I want is a command for assistant, for example "OK Google, Call *in german/dutch/French/etc* <after this command everything will be interpreted on the given language, for the rest of the voice input>. See, it's not that hard.

I had the exact same idea, it seems Google really lack good product design.
