Create non-english version of Alexa Skill

johnnyruz commented 5 years ago

In order to expand to as many users as possible, the Alexa Skill needs to be available in multiple languages. Development plan is to standardize the resource strings for the Alexa responses and then enlist the community to help create accurate translations.

Wanted to give an update on this as I'm in the process of regression testing a V2 release of the Alexa Skill and Google Action. A few of the highlights:

Deployment to more regions (hopefully ALL!) for both Alexa and Google, but priority is Alexa right now. Likely will be only in English to start, but see the next bullet for translations.
Centralized text strings for responses - I'm moving all of the strings in the app to a centralized location that can be broken up by language. This file will be available here on Github so if you want to contribute translations you will be able to do so!
Two more Intents for "How Much Time Is Left?" and "What is my printer temperature?". This just allows for a shorter response rather than having to listen to the full status.
Ability to manually remove a registered printer rather than waiting 10 days for it to time out. I will still have the 10-day auto-timeout as well.

My goal is to have all of this tested and submitted to Google/Amazon by Wednesday of this week and assuming it passes their verification it should be live by end of this week.

Thanks for your update. Count on me for any french translation you need. I guess #7 can be closed then.

I can help with the Italian translation if you want.

I've created a specific branch _skilltranslations that contains two JSON files that are used to define the text for both the Alexa Input (i.e. Invocation and Intents) as well as template strings for the Skill/Action response. I would love any help applying translations to these files. If you're interested, take a look and create Pull Requests and let me know if you have any questions.

German version of Alexa Skill should now be LIVE!! Please, test and let me know if you see any issues. I got some great help from native speakers but it's possible a response may sound weird so please let me know if I've missed anything!

Italian and French will be submitted for approval either tonight or very early next week.
