Italian translation

[BigLouis87]

Hello developers,
Amazon Echo just entered in the Italian market 10 days ago. Since I have all my music on Google Music and I want to use it with my new Alexa, I just found this interesting project.
I would like to help you create a translation to Italian language, so if you can give me some little instructions on which files are needed to be translated I can add them to the project.
However, I read that only US developers can access the ASK built-in library, so I am wondering if this can totally deny me to use Geemusic from Italy.
Thank you
Have a nice day

I don't think so? We have Germans and French and Japanese people use this app.

You'd need to add geemusic/templates/it.yaml, and speech_assets/non_us/sampleUtterances.it.txt

And youd need to set LANGUAGE=it in your environment on whatever server you wanna use. The deployment options are in the README.

When you're ready and get it working submit a PR reference this issue and we can close it all out for you!

Hi BigLouis87.
I am an italian developer. I own an Amazan Echo (italian language) and I managed to make it work with GeeMusic (also italian developers can use the ASK library).

Did you already start the translation process? I am really interested on it.
Thank you

Hello everyone,
and thank you for the replies.
@androckz I just made the opposite of you... I just finished the Italian translation but I have not yet installed it. I wanted to test myself the translation before make a PR, but if you have it up&running I can upload the 2 translated files and you can easily test it.
I will make the PR shortly, stay tuned!
Thank you
Have a nice day

Hi BigLouise, I’m from Italy. How can I contact you in private message? Thanks

[androckz]

@fergyfresh sorry but I am not at home in these days, I don't know when I will have some time to test it

[fergyfresh]

@androckz no worries. I just don't know enough Italian to be able to test it out and i dont wanna merge something that doesn't work. You know?

Hello and sorry for the late reply, I had no time!
I am now trying to test it using Heroku: I made a fork on github, added my 2 translation files, deployed to Heroku with the right env variables. It builds successfully.
Then, I opened Amazon skill developers, created new project, added custom interaction model, selected language:italian and the right URL to my heroku project with /alexa .
It builds successful, but when I test it and say "apri gee music" (that is "open gee music" in italian), it says "There was a problem with the requested skill's response".
I tried in italian or in english, it is the same answer.
I don't know how to make it working, have you some tips for me to test it?
Thank you very much!
