While using google translate api for english to hindi translation, we are trying to fetch translated roman hindi for an english search query, searching for suitable method.
Currently, the transliteration from English en to Hindi hi, which means that the result will the translated text with only Latin characters, is not supported. As per the comments, from English shoes the expected output would be joote. However, the output is जूते.
There is an already open Feature request within Google's Issue tracker, here, addressing the Transliteration for the Cloud Translation API. Thus, you can click on the +1 button and leave a comment so the Googlers know this issue is also relevant to you. Lastly, I should point out that this platform is used to track bugs and feature requests made by the costumers.
I'm using this api to translate text: https://learn.microsoft.com/azure/cognitive-services/translator/reference/v3-0-translate
When user key in the keyword "tidak", it gets English as detected language, which is wrong, because there is no such word in English. It is a Malay word which means "No".
Is there a channel I report this to Microsoft so that they can fix the translation for this word? It is an important word in Malay for our chatbot.
Thanks.

Is it possible and if so how to respond within a skill with different languages? For example I'm developing a skill for the German skill store which reads various texts from the internet. Those can be any in language and I can determine the language when I'm about to emit the response.
From what I can see the SSML subset Alexa implements does not specify the language in which the response is given. But Alexa's own Kindle skill is able to read me eBooks in either German or English (perhaps Amazon's own skills are special).
As said in other answers the right way is to use the <lang> tag in SSML. However since the english voice do not speak German it is quite weird. The right solution is to change the voice using <voice> tag.
Here is an example in German
<speak>
<voice name="Hans"><lang xml:lang="de-DE">Ich bin ein Berliner</lang></voice>.
I am a Berliner.
</speak>
It is described in this doc https://developer.amazon.com/fr/docs/custom-skills/speech-synthesis-markup-language-ssml-reference.html#examplefrench-content-in-an-english-skill
It looks like this is not possible at the moment: https://forums.developer.amazon.com/questions/55086/specify-output-language-per-intent.html
You can use the <lang> tag in SSML for this.
Here is an example in German.
<speak>
<lang xml:lang="de-DE">Mein Luftkissenfahrzeug ist voller Aale</lang>.
Hello in the default language.
</speak>
Here is a list of supported Amazon Polly languages for Alexa.
I am creating in which a user can say an address (for further processing). An address can be anything from "New York" to "123 First Avenue Washington" to "Seattle Harbor". Basically like something you can enter at Google Maps - it will recognize more or less everything :)
So now of course comes the problem on how to create a custom slot for this? LITERAL is deprecated PLUS I am working on a German language skill.
Should I actually try to fill the 50,000 lines I got available for a custom skill with as many enumerations of addresses as I can come up with? I'm afraid that even if I go down that road, Alexa will still try to map any input that's not in that list to one that is - and thereby rendering my skill a bit mood :(
Thanks for any advise!
As you suggest, using a custom slot with 50K sample addresses wouldn't really work. Something as complicated as an address really needs a built-in slot type, and there is one for US skills:
https://developer.amazon.com/public/solutions/alexa/alexa-skills-kit/docs/built-in-intent-ref/slot-type-reference#postaladdress
But you noted that you are targeting a German language skill and as far as I know there isn't a German language or address version of the above built-in slot yet.
The fact that they have done it for US suggests that they will add it for Germany at some point, but counting on that is risky, of course, so you are in a difficult position. In the mean-time I would suggest you go to the feature request space and add a request for a German version of the above:
I have a school project about how people who don't use the latin alphabet use the internet (like russians or chinese). How do they enter urls or e-mail adresses, and how do they write HTML without a latin keyboard?
most keyboard are QWERTY keyboard regardless of nationality, But the OS usually has ways of converting the written language. like in china for example: windows has a sub-program that runs when you type and gives you options of the Chinese character you want.
Here a Wikipedia Link
They have extra keyboard layouts, because the internet was invented in america everyone is using the american standarts, so the urls are in latain but the text on the sites they are surfing is in their language as our sites are in our language.
