Hi. I have my Fire HD 8 8th gen and when I first started it notified me "Alexa is not compatible with spanish".
But I can use Alexa in spanish on my phone, it's just in the tablet where it doesn't allow me to change the language. Did anyone find a solution for that?

Try this:

Use the Alexa app to change your language settings.

If didn't work. You can use Google Assistant instead. Google Assistant can support multilingual.

I am thinking of importing one of these phones to Europe from China. I've read the reviews and seen the videos and I am sold. The only thing holding me back is that this is a phone created for the Chinese market and I live in Europe.
Will I be able to change the language to English and remove the Chinese language from the interface. The videos I've seen show the device using the English language but there are still a lot of UI elements in Chinese (i.e. a video showed someone writing a message using an English keyboard but even that had some Chinese buttons).
Another video showed the installation of Google Play Store (as it does not come preinstalled) and even the Google apps had Chinese text written next to the English name of the app.
I'm fine with all Chinese text in Xiaomi apps like their own app store (as I will not use those apps) but I would like the rest of the phone be entirely in English.
Thank you.

The OS default has English as an option. But bear in mind, the phone is designed for Mainland China market,so some software,features you will not be able to use it else where. Surely ,can flash with your own ROM. It is a great phone with competitive price.

How much did you pay for it?
Is it announced a UK release date in UK?

I ended up paying 385 Euro for the 64GB version. This price includes DHL shipping cost to have the phone shipped to Cyprus. I also expect to pay import charges when I receive it.
I don't think they announced any releases outside of China. From what I remember reading online there might be an international version of the phone coming out during Christmas.
The retailer price for MI4 64GB is about 320Euro then you can work out how much the shipping cost would be.

Yeah, don't worry about the language. Just use the multi language ROM from miuiandroid.com. Comes pre loaded with Google play services, Chinese apps are removed, and is pre-rooted. It is also updated weekly with the official MIUI ROM.

Hi I downloaded 8.5.5.0 and when installing with the updater app, I receive a message "Cant verify update - its not allowed to upgrade to unofficial ROM package"
Do I need to change any settings ?
Hello to all and to all .
I'm the proud owner of a mate 8 NXT al10 Chinese version so if I'm not mistaken in 128 GB.
You must excuse me I do not speak any English so I use Google.
being French and not speaking Chinese while the only thing I have a problem with what I use very often with my phone is voice control.
My question is the following "" "Is it easily possible to place a file in the phone that will allow us to use voice commands in multiple languages" ""?
I hope I well expressed and especially as Google is my friend get me well translated.
Thank you to all
what u can do is install the google app from play store and set it as your assistance and voice control app: settings/apps/advanced/default app settings/assistance & voice input
set assist app to google app, that should do it. .

First of all thank you for responding so quickly.
But this solution does not solve anything at all and made some applications malfunction I would say it conflicts with the Huawei applications.
Actually what I want it is a file that can be installed on the phone to turn the Chinese into English French German Italian I think it would help a lot of people.
as far as i know the chinese hivoice control is only available in chinese, thats why i suggested switching to google app... try and disable the chinese voice control when using google app, maybe thatll help with the described conflicts. what exactly did go wrong, in what apps?

If I remember correctly when I tried to install google app from play store when I had chinese firmware it said that it is incompatible with my device. Not 100% sure now having the international firm... Does it work on your AL10 @Phil28?
It's a shame to have to change nxt to l10 l29. to change the language because it seems that there is some great work on the Chinese version of the MUI .From more 128giga version is it supported by the version nxt- l29
Code menu ingénieur *#*#2846579#*#*
While this may be util
i also want to change the chinese language to english in voice control....can any one tell how to change the files???/
i am sure there must be a way as the english version is available in international roms...i am on al10 b350...am quite satisfied with it but just want to change the voice control language...
Hi. The Chinese version of the Mate 9 comes with some preloaded apps called HiVoice, HiLives, Huawei Read, Huawei Club, HiWallet, HiCare, HiApp and Huawei Health. Many of these apps could be useful but work primarily in Chinese. Are there English versions of these apps or is there a way to set them up so that they work primarily in English? Especially with voice recognition. Also the phone will allow you answer a call by voice command but the default command is in Chinese. Is there a way to answer in English. When dialling a phone number you get a Chinese directory. Anyway to disable this or use a more local based directory. Also, when on lockscreen, long press of volume down asks something related to contacts but it is in Chinese. Can this feature be utilized in English? Thanks!
Easier way is to flash an international firmware,cause most features are in English like direct calling, hivoice is replaced by Google search and so on.

Yes. Thanks. Currently that is my plan b or rather c. I'm just trying to see how much I can get out of this original set up with the Huawei apps. But if it is true that these apps and so forth are really too China centric to be that useful for me, I'll probably just delete them and use equivalent google apps and so forth. If that doesn't do it I'll rebrand to International or North American. Is there any difference between those two anyone knows of?
same issue
I got all of the above from Chinese version in australia.
Dont know how to make english as default for all "hi" app from huawei.
This may sound daft but how do we get Google assistant into our galaxy s6's? Is it possible?

This is a bit of a weird one, Google assistant is activated server side on Google. Currently it won't work if you have the system language set to English UK and input language to English UK. You have to change it to English US both system language and input language, even then it's not guaranteed to activate it and outside of rooting it's not possible to get Google assistant. Originally ga was a Google Pixel exclusive feature.
Hi all
I'm an Aussie who recently purchased a 2021 Amazon Fire HD8 tablet. I was planning on using the fairly newly announced Amazon 'device dashboard', along with Alexa to control my smart home stuff. Sadly I've found that these features aren't supported in Aus yet. So if the device is registered to an Aus amazon account, the Alexa settings along with the dashboard simply aren't there; the Alexa app exists and works, but I can't use the Alexa wake word to order commands.
De-registering the device, then registering it with a US account fixes this. I was able to test Alexa and the dash and it works just fine. I then run into the issue though where the Aus specific Alexa skills I need aren't available. Along with having temperature and time all messed up on the device.
Ideally, I'm hoping I can register my device here in Australia, but maybe via developer mode or sideloading, I can activate the Alexa wake word, or at the very least have the device dashboard working. The fact these things work just fine but aren't available here is super annoying. Any help would be appreciated.

Hmm....have you tried using a VPN (via US server) while logged into your Aus account?

I must admit I have not. The features available appear to be dependent on where the device is registered though, not its location. Hopefully, I'll be proven wrong this evening when I try it. Thanks for the suggestion
If it were to work though I wonder if I'd then be in the same boat of not having access to the Aus skills.
As both the voice assistant and the dashboard are installed, evident by the fact they work when it's registered to a US account, I'd have thought the best solution would be to find the code which restricts it when not in a supported country and edit it.
Fingers crossed.

Just thought you should know (in case you haven't noticed) that you are replying to a post (the latest) made nearly 2 years ago from a member that hasn't logged back on to XDA since "Last seen Aug 5, 2021"....so there's a good chance you will not get a response from that particular member.
Good luck to you!
