Bring AMAZON.FallbackIntent to other languages
The recently introduced AMAZON.FallbackIntent, which allows utterances which do not match any of the utterances associated with other intents to be picked up by a skill, is extremely useful. However, this can only be used in English (US) skills and not any any other languages, such as English (UK). This makes development harder than it should be and discourages developers from creating their skills in multiple languages.

FallbackIntent has been published now on other locales as well.
Please check our blog post for more details.Thanks

Dynamic Slot Values
I have a skill that looks up property management information for apartment buildings. We have over 150 properties which are defined as values for a slot. 4 digit property numbers for values and string property names as synonyms.
I would like to be able to query a database for the slot values and synonyms dynamically at runtime.

ordinal
It would be nice if AMAZON.NUMBER handled ordinals... I give the user a list and ask which he wants more information on. The user says "the first" and it should resolve to 1.

[Bug] [German]: "mich" resolves to "Mitch" in slot value
I discovered a weird bug in German:
- Slot with name "forWhom"
- Slot Value: "me"
- Synonym for "me": "mich"
When you elicit the slot and answer "mich", I am getting this:
"forWhom": {
"name": "forWhom",
"value": "Mitch",
"resolutions": {
"resolutionsPerAuthority": [
{
"authority": "...",
"status": {
"code": "ERSUCCESSMATCH"
},
"values": [
{
"value": {
"name": "me",
"id": "me"
}
}
]
},
{
"authority": "...",
"status": {
"code": "ERSUCCESSNO_MATCH"
}
}
]
},
"confirmationStatus": "NONE"
},Where does "Mitch" come from?

Alexa does not understand Numbers like 28 within Dates in German
For the AMAZON.Date Slot, Alexa does not seem to understand numbers like 28 or 25 as the day. It just does not resolve to anything, no mattter how clearly I speak out "Achtundzwanzig" (28 in German). It works with 11, 15 and the like, but with many others it doesn't - 28 in particular.
example where it does not work:
"Achtundzwanziger August 2018".2 votesHello,
Thank you for submitting an Alexa Skills Feature Request. We are happy to inform you that the feature you have requested has launched!
We can confirm that the most recent version of the AMAZON.DATE built-in slot resolves dates containing numbers like “acht und zwanzigste/r” and “fünf und zwanzigste/r” correctly to either “28” or “25”.
Please note that the date is provided to your service in ISO-8601 date format, which means the utterance “acht und zwanzigster august zwei tausend achtzehn” returns the value “2018-08-28”, for example*:
‘slots’: {
‘date’: {
‘confirmation_status’: ‘NONE’,
‘name’: ‘date’,
‘resolutions’: None,
‘value’: ‘2018-08-28’}
}- The slot name for AMAZON.DATE being “date” here.

Amazon.Date Slot should recognize date like 1982/08/10 in German
I'm trying to get Alexa to understand the German "zehnter august neunzehn hundert zwei und achtzig" as date, but it always recognizes this as {"value": "2018-08-10"}. It seems it's impossible to pass past dates to Alexa. I think it would be valuable to have that feature.

We can confirm that the most recent version of the AMAZON.DATE built-in slot also resolves past dates into the correct output value.
Please note that the date is provided to your service in ISO-8601 date format, which means the utterance “zehnter august neunzehn hundert zwei und achtzig” returns the value “1982-08-10”, for example*:
‘slots’: {

‘confirmation_status’: ‘NONE’,
‘name’: ‘date’,
‘resolutions’: None,
‘value’: ‘1982-08-10’}
