How do I change the language of the sample app in the mobile app?

How do I change the language of the sample app in the mobile app? I can't find the language option on the every where.

I looked it up in the following way, but there is no Language option.

- In the Alexa app on my phone navigate to Settings --> Device Settings --> My Sample Device

- In the alexa.amazon.com on browser navigate to Settings --> Devices --> My Sample Device

I have already asked a similar question, and I have already received the answer below.

It was not helpful.

It is due to the configuration error. If you want your product to be supported for multiple locale then, please update settings->defaultAVSClientSettings->locale in your AlexaClientSDKConfig.json and try again.

Thank you.

Sorry, but we currently we do not support configuring the device language via Alexa portal or Alexa app. The locale should be configured via sample app console.

Hi, The SDK currently does not support changing the language through the Companion App. The only way to do at the moment is by modifying the AlexaClientSDKConfig.json file.

"en-US" is entered in settings-> defaultAVSClientSettings-> locale of my file.

However, the language option is not displayed on the setting page of alexa.amazon.com.

What is the condition that the language option displays on the setting page of alexa.amazon.com?

I want a dynamic way, not a static way.

The AlexaClientSDKConfig.json file is the only way to change it, but it is not.

The way to change the language in the SDK is via the command in the sample app. If you select 1 after entering c, you can select a language.

I want to see the language preference option on the setting page of alexa.amazon.com.

Hi, for alexa sample app, there is no option for language on mobile app unless you do following changes in your SDKConfig.

It can be set up only by making these changes as explained below.

It is due to the configuration error. If you want your product to be supported for multiple locale then, please update settings->defaultAVSClientSettings->locale in your AlexaClientSDKConfig.json and try again.

You can find more information here - https://developer.amazon.com/docs/alexa-voice-service/build-the-avs-device-sdk.html

By default, language is set based on your country/address you set up on your amazon account.

The "settings" in my file are shown below.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"settings":{

// Path to Settings database file. e.g. /home/ubuntu/Build/settings.db

// Note: The directory specified must be valid.

// The database file (settings.db) will be created by SampleApp, do not create it yourself.

// The database file should only be used for settings (don't use it for other components of SDK)

"databaseFilePath":"C:/msys64/home/shjang/db/settings.db",

"defaultAVSClientSettings":{

// Default language for Alexa.

// See https://developer.amazon.com/docs/alexa-voice-service/settings.html#settingsupdated for valid values.

"locale":"en-US"

}

},

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

How do I update to resolve this issue?

Below is the settings page for the sample app device.

No language options available.
