A question comes up very frequently on the Alexiens Facebook community: how to change the language of your skills store Alexa. But, while Alexians love to come to the aid of new members of the community, it can sometimes be tempting to repeat the same thing over and over again. This is why we have decided to make you a short tutorial On the question. You will see, nothing too complicated in all of this… Follow the guide!
If your skills are in English, for example, and if you want to use Alexa in French with French skills, you need change the settings for the country of residence on Amazon. Fr.
Go to:
Your Account > Digital content and devices> Content and devices> Preferences> Country and region settings.
Once on this page, select France for the French skills store, or United States for the skills store US (Amazon. Com).
Attention, be sure to deactivate your routines before changing blinds! Indeed, these will no longer be available in your application. Alexa, but will continue to function regardless. You will understand that this can be unfortunate. Thanks to Romain, a reader, who drew our attention to the subject.
You can now access the French skills store. If, however, you still have some difficulty, do not hesitate to join us on our Facebook group to talk about it. There will always be an Alexian at your service.
I still can't have the skill store in French I don't understand
If you have followed the tutorial correctly, I invite you to contact the customer service directly.Amazon.
If I change the country in my account Amazon, French to American or vice versa, will I keep my settings, my skills, my routines, my lists, etc… or does everything come back to zero each time we change country?
Thank you for your reply !
Why change country regularly? If it is only to use skills, there is no longer any permeability between the two, your FR configurations will therefore remain on FR and the same for US.
I'm on the French store and want to stay that way (being a kindle user). I live in Canada and I want to use skills available only on the Canadian or us store. Is it possible while staying on the us store to use these skills? thanks in advance
By staying on the FR store sorry
No, unfortunately you have to make a choice…: '(
Hello Greg,
No Unfortunately. The store to which an Echo is associated is linked to the account to which it is attached. The only way to have multiple stores is to create different accounts Amazon...
Hello, do you know why my application amazon alexa does not support the tidal streaming service although on their site it is stated that it is compatible with alexa. Cannot connect my echo studio to tidal
Ps: I am in France.
Hi,
Because Tidal is not available in France…: '(
Hello Jean Christophe… I am exactly in the opposite case. I ordered on .com and I live in the Netherlands Antilles. My ECHO only offers me skills in English while the language is good in French which limits me enormously. I also have a .fr account (which is actually the same as the .com). Even if I create another account, how can I switch my ECHO to have the skills in French? Thank you for your reply.
Hello,
Tidal is indeed available in France.
Hi,
No, unfortunately Tidal is still not available on Alexa in France. You can use the service differently, but not associate it with Alexa.
Hello
Very interested to dispose of tidal on Alexa !
Do I have to switch to the US to acquire skill and then come back to France?
That's right
I have a lot of routines that I don't want to lose on my current configuration ...
merci!
Hello,
Unfortunately Tidal is not supported in France, I doubt it will work because this trick is old and a priori no longer possible to implement. As for the routines, the seesaw should theoretically keep them. 🙂
Hello,
The tutorial is simple and clear. I still have a problem.
In my profile I don't have “Content and device” but “Kindle content and device” when I click on it I don't have access to any settings, just kindle content (empty). an idea ?
Hello,
Yes this is the right place, but Amazon has changed their menu a bit since the tutorial was published two years ago. Then, as on our screenshots, go to "Preferences".
Have a good weekend 🙂
Bonjou, I have the same problem as Barnabe but I do not have the reference tab just the content tab I do not know how can you enlighten me?
hello have you found the answer to the problem, because I have the same as you. thanks in advance
Hello, I just got a pregnant Alexa Echo Dot. I live in Belgium . I can't connect my Spotify account with Alexa .
Thank you for your reply.

Hello,
It is a well-known evil. You must enter a French address on your account Amazon.Fr. Take that of a relay point for example. 😉
Have a good day
Hello, I changed the account settings temporarily to US to put the skill logitech harmony, and came back to the FR store afterwards. In the end, in the app Alexa I only see the store of English skills, and all my routines have disappeared. I only have the skill harmony that appears (and it doesn't work anymore to control the TV). The account settings are of course on France in Amazon.Fr. Can I find my routines and skills as before?
Hello,
Yes, unfortunately this technique no longer works and Logitech seems to have nothing to do with its French customers ... Unfortunately, no, your routines and skills are lost. Unless you can work it out with customer service, but I doubt it.
Have a good day
I found the solution. By uninstalling Alexa on the phone, and by reinstalling the app, the store finally went back to FR. My skills and routines reappeared. Phew. It was the only thing I hadn't tested.
Phew! Thank you for the feedback. Indeed, I had not realized that they had first been created in FR, then switched to US to return to FR, so it makes sense. On the other hand, during migrations, it is apparently more complicated. 😉
Have a good day
I do not manage to have my skills in French my application is configured in French, impossible to have French why and especially what to do, my account amazone is in french
Do not hesitate to contact the customer service ofAmazon, they can perform a migration for you if necessary. 😉
Hello. I have a Gardena sprinkler system Smart Water Control which is supposed to be compatible with Alexa but the skill is only available on the Amazon store UK and USA. Is there a way to retrieve this skill on my FR account (even if it means speaking to him in English €? Thank you
Hello,
Unfortunately no, you have to migrate your entire account for this. 🙁
Good Sunday
Hello,
My skills are in English and my application alexa is in French. But the problem is when I do your technique I can't find a preference and I don't have the same thing as you.
I would like my skills to be in French, how can I do this?
Merci de votre réponse
Hello,
The tutorial is more than two years old, it is likely that the menus are a little different, however their name still seems the same at first glance. 🙂 If the technique does not work, we invite you to contact the after-sales service. Amazon, they are the only ones who will be able to migrate your profile. 🙂
Have a good weekend… And good luck! 😉
Hello
Here it is before I said thank you to Alexa she answered little things to me but nothing more I can't extend her reaction time
Hello,
This is a remark rarely made, most people criticizing him for the opposite ... Did you not activate the "brief mode"? In this case, it no longer responds indeed. 😉
Hello,
To put in fr you have to go through Amazon.com which sends you to the us site. Once on the site you will have access to the "Content and devices" tab and then "preference".
Even if you are already in France, still make a change to get back to France and re-enter your address. You will then have the option to migrate your account to amazon. Fr
Hello,
Indeed, the procedure has changed a bit since… 😉
hello, for 3 days I no longer have radio veronica. what can I do?
Hello,
Unfortunately, there is nothing to do, it seems that the station is no longer broadcasting… Maybe it will come back?
Have a good day
