Curious to know if any update from a stream posted a year ago regarding Sonos App allowing to select multiple languages for Alexa Assistant on Sonos Beam. 

Alexa app allows for echo devices to have this option i.e English and French - but no apparent way to do this via Alexa app to touch Beam settings.

Hi @WF-CND, Thanks for reaching out, and welcome to the community. About your question about selecting multiple languages for Alexa. Here is the Alexa availability on Sonos. but for bilingual languages to be set, I believe that is not supported as of the moment You may choose one language at a time. I'll have to check that or possibly check it as a feature request with our specialists. 

Let us know what you have in mind with the advice above. We're here to answer any further questions you have.

When will this be supported it has been more than a year.

Hi @LiamFranco, Thanks for reaching out, and welcome to the community. About your question on bilingual Voice support for Alexa, we don’t have any updates yet as of the moment. We’ll surely announce if there’s any news about this feature.

Please, feel free to let me know if you require any further information.

Thanks Simon

Cant wait for your next update! 

@LiamFranco . If your patience runs out, buy a 2nd or 3rd generation Echo Dot or two, turn off voice control on Sonos speaker(s), and use Alexa groups to make the audio default to the Sonos speakers.
