Steps to activate the Hindi language on Amazon Alexa device

There are two steps to enable Hindi language support

A. Update the Echo device with the latest software update

To update Alexa-enabled devices say, "Alexa, check for software updates" or ask Alexa, do I have the latest software". Alexa will check for the update and install it on the device.

1. Open the Alexa app on your smartphone, once the update process is done.

2. Then tap on the 'Devices' tab from the bottom of the app.

3. Tap on Echo device for which you want to change the language.

4. Here select the language option as Hindi/English, English/Hindi or Hindi.

5. Now the device will be updated with the new language.

6. Now, you can interact with Alexa in Hindi by asking 'Lata Mangeshkar ke gaane sunao', cricket score batao, AC chalu karo, Mamma ko call karo, etc.

Otherwise, you can also ask Alexa to set up Hindi by saying," Help in setup Hindi'. Alexa will automatically guide you through the steps you need to follow.
