Change ALEXA's language from Home assistant

Configuration Voice Assistant

Hi!

I have an Echo Dot which is successfully configured to speak/understand English/Spanish languages.

When HA sends Alexa a notification in English, everything works fine. But, when the notification is in Spanish, then Alexa simply reads the Spanish sentence with an English accent.

QUESTION: Is there any parameter, in the YAML syntax of my message or in the configuration of the service, which would allow to choose the language of each voice notification?

I toggle a language input_boolean (between English and Spanish). Instead of having to modify all the automations, each time I receive new guests at home, I would like to just toggle the language and Alexa would read the appropriate sentence.

Thank you!

Marc

No. And I think there is no way to do it for the moment :neutral_face:

There’s actually a way using SSML, here’s an example of a message you can send and it’ll be spoken in Spanish:

<voice name='Mia'>Hola amigos!</voice>

I am away on a trip, now. Thank you, I will try this once I am back home.
