Español/English (United States/Estados Unidos): Alexa speaks English and Spanish. For Echo devices with screens, settings and screensavers (e.g. hints, headlines) are in Spanish.
Now, you can talk to Alexa in both languages without having to change the settings. As you switch between English and Spanish, Alexa will follow your lead through its language detection system. If you want Alexa to stop speaking in Spanish, simply say “Alexa, stop speaking Spanish.” This will restore Alexa to English-only.
And now, Amazon announced on Friday that customers can talk to Alexa in multiple languages, thanks to its new Multilingual mode. If you’re in the U.S., you now have the ability to speak to Alexa in both Spanish and English. Activating Multilingual mode is super simple — all it requires is talking to your device in Spanish.
In Alexa’s multilingual mode, users can talk in two different languages, and Alexa will listen and respond in both. For example, if you said something to Alexa in Spanish, she would respond in Spanish, but if you said something in English, she would respond to you in English.
That hasn’t changed, but now users can enable a few more languages in the Alexa app. Alexa can speak German, French, Canadian-French, Japanese, Spanish, US-Spanish, and Hindi — all paired with English.
Live translation is the latest in a series of language-focused updates for Echo devices. The feature follows on last year’s introduction of multilingual mode for U.S. speakers, which allows Alexa users to speak a combination of English and Spanish, French and English, and Hindi and English, for example.
Amazon is rolling out Multilingual mode to Alexa, which lets users in the US speak Spanish to their Alexa devices. Alexa will be able to respond to requests in either English or Spanish, based on the language in which it was asked.
Today, Amazon says the multi-lingual mode for U.S. speakers is officially live across the country, allowing users of both Echo and Alexa-powered devices to switch between Spanish and English. Alexa can also be set to speak only Spanish in the Alexa app settings.
So if you want to Alexa speaking Spanish, you can do. In the US, it allows Alexa to switch between English and Spanish. For instance, if you have Alexa set to English, yet ask a question in Spanish, Alexa will either respond in Spanish or ask if you want to change your language settings.
Amazon Alexa has received a new "Live Translation" feature. Specifically, the assistant can now do real-time translations between English and Spanish, German, French, Hindi, Italian, and Brazilian Portuguese, all thanks to a new over-the-air software update.
