Alexa's UK locale does not allow the "add [task]" invocation intent

[cakebarIO]

While expanding to new locales, we discovered users in the UK who specifically use the "add [task]" invocation intent, as in "Alexa, tell quick add to add [task]," get their items added to the Alexa Shopping List and not Todoist.

In the UK, when saying "open quick add" and adding a [task] after the skill's response by saying "add [task]" (as requested by the skill), the [task] gets properly added to Todoist, as expected.

This issue is most-likely happening from how Alexa's natural language understanding (NLU) system interprets the phrase "add" based on regional settings and the specific language model...and, unless I figure out a hack, may be outside of my control to fix.

However, we discovered this is the issue because of...

THE WORKAROUND

• Saying "to log [task]," "to put [task]," "to task [task]," and "to create a task [task]" DO work...as in "Alexa, tell quick add to put apples on my Grocery List."
• Conferring with a tester in the UK during the preliminary UK release, he informed me "put" would be an acceptable word to replace "add" ...and I will be placing "put [task], "task [task]," and the others mentioned above on the invocation list.

Again, this issue is only happening to UK users...for US users, "add" is working as expected.

Due to how Alexa's natural language understanding (NLU) system interprets the phrase "to add" (as in "Alexa, tell QuickAdd to add..."), based on regional settings for the UK and its specific language model, the "to add" intent is not available for this skill in the UK at this time.

However, the following intents DO work for the UK and have been added to all locales: "to log," "to put," "to task," and "to create a task."

These new intents should be available for use if/when this next version gets certified by Amazon.

These changes have been certified and are now live in both the UK and US.
