We bought a Sonos One in France for use in our holiday house. I can’t find a way to make Alexa speak English. There is no language option in the app. How can I get the Sonos/Alexa to respond in English?

    Edit: It doesn't appear you can change the language via the Alexa app like you can an Echo. I'll keep looking.


    Think I found it: Open the Sonos app on an Android or iOS device and select Settings>Room Settings, then select your Sonos One Room. Under Voice Services>login. You'll then see the Wake Word Language setting. Change this to English.

    Open the Sonos App, go to Settings>Services>Amazon Alexa and then select your Alexa enabled Sonos device (Move/One/Beam).  Under the Voice Settings section, there is then the ability to change the Voice Language.

    Hi jgatie,

     

    Now Alexa supports Portuguese (Brazilian) but it doesn’t show up in the list you indicated for some reason in the Sonos app. I’m able to change it to different languages but not Portuguese, is the Sonos app missing an update maybe?

     

    Tried to find a similar configuration for Language in the sonos web site but I couldn’t find it either, so I think the Sonos app will be the right location but Portuguese is not there.

     

    Regards,
