Hi, Is there any plans to launch Amazon Alexa skill for Homey in Spain? ---

I guess Homey itself would first be needed to be translated into Spanish, as Spanish to something English is not going to work. There is no timeline for any translations. ---

You can find some more information here : > **[Language support plans?](https://forum.athom.com/discussion/2531/language-support-plans)** > > I was reading the thread about German voice recognition and saw that beta-tests are being planned. and > [@Homey International](https://community.homey.app/t/homey-international/3047): > > Hello ! Is there an international version of Homey coming soon? eg German? But generally speaking no plans to launch an Alexa skill for Homey in Spanish have been announced to the community. ---

Thanks for your replies and sorry for my poor english I’m from Spain and is not my first language, but I understand english language. My question to enable Amazon skills was to able have all my Homey devices exposed in Alexa, and controlled from it. I think there’s no need to translate Homey on another language because is Alexa who controls them and send commands to Homey: [https://developer.amazon.com/es/docs/smarthome/understand-the-smart-home-skill-api.html](https://developer.amazon.com/es/docs/smarthome/understand-the-smart-home-skill-api.html) ---

Hi Ruben and everyone, I received my Homey device today and was expecting to use it the same as you. I was thinking if switching Alexa to English language, install the Homey skill and then switch back to Spanish will do the trick… Anyone knows? ---

I don’t think that would work, in order to change a devices language you need to hard reset it. I do however currently have one alexa device running en\_AU while the others all run en\_US, but I am unable to install en\_AU skills upon it. But I could be wrong, i’ve only played around with switching from American to Australian, English to Spanish might be different. Good Luck ---

Does anybody have any update on the eventual support of Spanish language for Homey skill? Thanks in advance ---

Now, that Homey works in Spanish, seems logic to update Homey Skill on Alexa to Spanish. Any news on that? ---

Hi guys! I asked a question in Amazon some time ago about when was going to be available the skill in Spanish and they have just answered me. This is what they say: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/3/e/3e09226f680485e8bdf1e7c49ea69be36122b11a.jpeg) They are working with Amazon and it is supposed to be available soon. I hope so! Saludos!
