Provide locale property in event (Skillevent, Listevent) to allow translation
Current localization documentation states the following:
"Note that list events and skill events that are sent to your service do not include the locale property."
https://developer.amazon.com/de/docs/custom-skills/develop-skills-in-multiple-languages.html
Request / idea:
Please add locale support to Skillevents and Listevents as well so that event based skill can be translated based on that information. Currently developers can only use a fallback language - e.g. english.
According to Alexa dev forum there is no workaround in place as well.
I would need the "locale" property in the "request" for the corresponding event type. E.g. "AlexaHouseholdListEvent.ItemsCreated".
