allow access skills from another region/language
More than 1 million Bulgarian immigrants scattered across the globe are struggling to preserve their cultural identity/heritage and to pass it over to their children. There are Alexa skills (like "Bulgarian library" skill) which could help them teach BG-language to their children however currently Amazon does not allow access to this skill from anywhere except US,UK,CA,AU. Most of the world (Germany, France, Italy, Spain, etc) has no access to it. So, in this case splitting the globe into regions makes no sense whatsoever.
Would be greatly appreciated by thousands of people IF Amazon allows access to skills which are outside…

Combine two european languages together
Actually we can only combine English to another languages like French, German, Spanisch or Italian.
In Europe lives lot of persons coming from different countries.
So it would be very interesting to combine other languages as only english.
In my family we speak French and German, so it will be an huge feature to combine two (or three) european languages together like
French/German
French/Spanish
French/Italian
German/French
German/Spanish
Germin/Italian
etc.1 vote -

Alexa Czech Language Support
Please consider Czech language support for Alexa, as it is a highly developed country in terms of e-commerce, and as well as one of Amazon's logistics centres is located there. Thank you.

Konkani & Tulu language support
Konkani language is spoken in only specific regions of India. The challenges with these languages are these languages do not have written communication. These are one of the most ancient languages. Digitization of the such a language will preserve these languages in virtual world. Please reach out to me if you need further clarification. I am greatly passionate about this and willing to contribute my time as well. Thank you

Standard intents in brazilian portuguese - Amazon.Letters and Amazon.Numbers
Dear colleagues at Amazon Alexa, good morning. I am developing a series of educational skills for Alexa, in Portuguese, Brazil.
As these skills have quiz, with questions and answers, and options like a, b or c. , I noticed, that even putting the options a., b., and c in AnwerIntent there is no guarantee that Alexa will understand the letter "c". Often, when it is pronounced c., It is understood as "sim".
My suggestion is to have a standard intent for letters in the Portuguese language - AMAZON.LETTERS. , the same would be important for numbers, - AMAZON.NUMBERS. Both would…

Recognizing accents
Allow developers to specify user accents on a per skill level, similar to the localization of the Alexa voice. This will allow greater recognition of non english words such as names, places, food items, band names etc without having the need to change the locale for all the skills.

Add Portuguese/Brazil in the support regions for camera apps...
Add Portuguese/Brazil in the support regions for camera apps with Alexa.RTCSessionController and Alexa.CameraStreamController.
This will allow many apps that already work in English to be added to the Brazilian store. It can also solve some problems that video apps have to not work correctly on Echo show 5 and 8 in brazil

Define input language for the following user input
It would be helpful if you could specify in an response the input language for the subsequent user input.
Example: I have an English-language skill where the user should translate vocabulary into German. Since Alexa is set to English in this case, the German user input is often not understood and transmitted correctly.1 vote -
Add multi account in italy

Document at least, and please work at least slowly on IDN
For SmartHome-Skills & German language, there has IMHO been no progress within the last 6 months. Undocumented non-support for certain languages e.g. for scheduling with ThermostatController is a No-Go. My preferred shortlist for german language support expansion: 1) Scheduling, 2) Sensors (Liters, Watt, kWh, mm etc.) to query all kind of numbers.

Forcing a user to remember a skill name is counter-intuitive, bad experience and leads to low adoption rates.
PROBLEM: Forcing a user to remember a skill name is counter-intuitive, bad experience and leads to low adoption rates.
Examples :
Alexa, tell Agent NEO to find my Home Value
Alexa, tell Harmony to turn on my TV
Alexa, ask AllRecipes for a Pasta RecipeProposed Solution:
Alexa, find my home's value (Alexa knows that the skill Agent NEO that the user has enabled, can handle this intent)
Alexa, turn on my TV (Alexa knows that the skill Agent NEO that the user has enabled, can handle this intent)
Alexa, find a Pasta Recipe (Alexa knows that the skill AllRecipes…243 votes -
Offer a complete list of directives for all Smart Home Skill locales/languages
Our users frequently ask what exactly they can say to Alexa to make her do certain things in their smart home.
There is no complete list of all the commands/directives that work with Alexa Smart Home Skills yet. Such a list - maybe even in all locales/languages - would help us a lot in testing and giving our skill's users the information they need.
