Change language of actions-on-google websimulation or test google home in German

Question

I am using actions on google with api.ai. I am able to create a api.ai bot in a language other than English, but the web simulator of actions-on-google (https://developers.google.com/actions/tools/web-simulator) seems to work in English only? Is there any option to change the language there or a time schedule when other languages (in my case German) will be available in the simulator?

Currently testing a non English action is impossible, because the web simulator does not even forward requests if it doesnt understand their meaning on its own.

Update 09/08/2017: Google Home is now available in Germany, I just bought one. Isn't it possible to test my German actions with a google home device either?

Answer 1

Yea -- sorry, you need to set your phone to US-English to test today. We are working on making Actions on Google work for German but that will likely not be ready until later in the year.
