Language support

Hi. Is it possible to have alexa tts messages in other languages? Something like this:

action: notify.alexa_media
data:
message: A porta da garagem esteve aberta 10 minutos.
title: Your Garage Door Friend
target: media_player.leonardo_s_2nd_echo_dot
data:
type: tts
language: pt-PT

Thanks.

Hello @LeonardoHSilva,

I use the following code:

action: tts.google_say
data:
cache: false
entity_id: media_player.dot_del_escritorio
language: "{{states ('input_select.msg_language')}}"
message: "'{{states ('input_text.msg_wildcard')}}"

The "tts.google_say" command works well with both Google and Alexa.
At each message I send to Alexa,

1. I place the language ("es", "en", "fr") in input_select.msg_language (from a SELECT button);
2. I use input_text helpers containing my fixed messages ("hola", "hello", "salut") of which the name ends with the 2 letters of the language code ("input_text.msg_blabla_es", "input_text.msg_blabla_en", "input_text.msg_labla_fr"). The container of the message is called "input_text.msg_wildcard" and I use the following code:
   =====
   action: input_text.set_value ### placing the content of the fixed message helper which matches the chosen language: "input_text.msg.blabla.es" (the "es" comes from "states) ("input_text.msg.blabla.en" would have returned the manually translated message in English, etc.).
   metadata: {}
   data:
   value: "{{ states('input_text.msg_tv_' ~ states('input_select.msg_language')) }}" ### the value of, for example, input_text.msg_blabla.es or input_text.msg_blabla.en
   target:
   entity_id: input_text.msg_wildcard ### the final message which will be spoken out by Alexa or Google Home.
   =====
   I hope it serves.
   ps: sorry for the format of this message, it is the first time I publish an answer :-)
