Alexa - Scenes and scripts do not execute when using Dutch as the language.

The problem

When Alexa is set to Dutch, scripts configured in Home Assistant fail to run, even though they work as expected in other supported languages (e.g., English). This appears to be a localization or integration issue.

core-2024.11.3

Hey there @home-assistant/cloud, @ochlocracy, @jbouwh, mind taking a look at this issue as it has been labeled with an integration (alexa) you are listed as a code owner for? Thanks!

Code owner commands

Code owners of `alexa` can trigger bot actions by commenting: - `@home-assistant close` Closes the issue. - `@home-assistant rename Awesome new title` Renames the issue. - `@home-assistant reopen` Reopen the issue. - `@home-assistant unassign alexa` Removes the current integration label and assignees on the issue, add the integration domain after the command. - `@home-assistant add-label needs-more-information` Add a label (needs-more-information, problem in dependency, problem in custom component) to the issue. - `@home-assistant remove-label needs-more-information` Remove a label (needs-more-information, problem in dependency, problem in custom component) on the issue.

Can you give some more insight about the setup. I know some Dutch localization was was implemented.

@jbouwh off course, I'm happy to provide you with some more information

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Set Alexa’s language to English.
2. Create a routine that triggers a Home Assistant scene (in HA core I used a “script” because automation/scene does not work) using a specific voice command.
3. Voice command "Alexa, battery Audi"
4. Observe Alexa's response: “OK”
5. The script in HA runs successfully, in my case I send a variable to via tts, Alexa replies with the message I want
6. See the scripts below for the response
7. Change Alexa to Dutch: "Alexa, speak Dutch"
8. Do the same steps as above, but in Dutch
9. Voice command: "Aelxa, batterij Audi"
10. Alexa’s response is: “niet ondersteund”
11. The HA script does not run

Script code in English `alias: alexavoice - battery audi description: battery percentage audi sequence:

• data: target:
  • media_player.echo_keuken
  • media_player.echo_bureau message: > The battery of the Audi e-tron is {{ states('sensor.audi_q4_e_tron_state_of_charge') | float | round(0) }} percent. data: type: tts action: notify.alexa_media mode: single`

script code in Dutch: `alias: alexavoice - batterij audi NL description: Geeft het batterijpercentage van de audi sequence:

• data: target:
  • media_player.echo_keuken
  • media_player.echo_bureau message: > De batterij van de Audi e-tron is {{ states('sensor.audi_q4_e_tron_state_of_charge') | float | round(0) }} percent opgeladen. data: type: tts action: notify.alexa_media mode: single`
