Development Alexa Skills Mexico

Being trying to do some testing and create an Skill for Alexa for Mexico but i keep getting two problems.

  1. Links in developer dashboard for Spanish/Mexico are missing and i keep getting 404.
  2. Alexa keeps telling me that it can only work on the "main language" which is associated. Weird thing is that is marked as Spanish/MX when i try to do the testing and i keep getting "Perdón, solamente puedo comprar en el idioma principal asociado a tu cuenta Amazon. Si quieres cambiar de idioma, ve a la sección Configuración de la app de Alexa, selecciona el dispositivo y el idioma que quieras usar."

Check screenshots:

By the way if you are wondering if the word i'm using to trigger Alex is in Spanish, yes it is.

Hi,

I had same issue. Add a English as a second languaje in your skill. Try it, it should work. Next, back to Spanish configuration and it will works. I don´t know the reason, but it works fine.

I got the problem. In spanish you invoke your skins using Word "abrir", others expressions like "Pidele" dosn´t work.

Anyway, I´m using "abrir" and It Works fine.
