Hi everyone!

So, Echosim.io does not seem to accept my vocal instruction for the test skill that I’ve created. Can this be related to the fact that my Alexa language is set to Brazilian portuguese? I’ve already tried the following Invocation Names: “vitor a codeacademy”(in english and folowing the course’s template) and “vitor teste”(in portuguese).

Hi everyone, the EchoSim was not working for me. Instead, I used the Alexa simulator under the Test tab in the Alexa developer console. It worked great.
