Actions on Google voice commands language - actions-on-google

I built my Actions on Google project that works perfectly in English but when I tried tell something like "Turn on kitchen light" but in Polish the assistant said that this lights aren't configured yet. So I don't know what should I do. My AoG project has set localization to Poland, I can control my lights with Google Home app manually but through Google Assistant I can only speak in English. Please help me solve that. Am I missing something or am I just blind and don't see option which I should switch.

In order to be able to control devices in a given supported language you will need support both on the project (AoG console) and the device on which the user issues the command. The language setting of the assistant on your phone or the google device (nest hub) might not be set to Polish language. There is also the possibility that the assistant might not be able to understand what you said, so you can try typing the command in Polish.
If you still experience the issue you can open a ticket on the Public Issue Tracker.

Can't test my Google Home Action in Actions Console Simulator

We've been having trouble keeping Wonder available on Google Assistant and Home. We keep resubmitting and then find out there's some bug that gets us taken down.
One thing that has made it hard is that we cannot test Wonder in the simulator in the Actions Console. Here is what a session looks like: Wonder test session
When I expand the last message I see the following error: Cannot use standard Google Assistant features in the Simulator
Is there any way you could help us get this fixed?
The Google Assistant available in the simulator has a subset of the features of the assistant available in your phone or Google Home device. If you want to use the entire set of voice interactions, please use the assistant on your physical devices. If you want to test your smart home action, you can use Test Suite.
Also note that Google Home projects do not support dialogflow anymore. I see you have the dialogflow-es-fulfillment tag in your project. If your project is set up as a dialogflow project, you might need to set up a new Smart Home project on the actions on google console.

Why are none of my Google Actions Alpha releases appearing in the Google Assitant store?

In my developer account, I can succesfully test the app using the simulator.
I also sucessfully deployed an Alpha version, and waited 24 hours.
However the opt-in link doesn't work. Every time I navigate to it, I see:
We can't find what you're looking for at the moment. Please try again later.
YES, I have the activity controls all enabled
YES, I have a google home device connected to this account
YES, I am the developer of this action, and have verified permissions
in IAM
This is driving me bananas. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get it to appear?
The problem is that I was not opening these links using Google Assistant (I was trying to open them using Safari). The documentation says "open on mobile", but it doesn't tell you to use the Google Assisant.
If you have iOS, make sure you download Google Assistant!
I know this is an old question, but for the past few days I have been in the same situation with no answers to be found on the internet.
The situation is represented in the image below:
My opt-in link was the following:
https://assistant.google.com/services/a/uid/uuid?hl=en
Removing the trailing ?hl=en at the end of the link worked for me.
The Action's settings have become available via the link https://assistant.google.com/services/a/uid/uuid?hl=en after Alpha deployment.
Still, the Action doesn't look good in the Actions explore menu and settings button is missing.

Google actions not available in google assistant for test project

I am able to run the simulator on my test project within the console actions webpage. However when I test it on the google assistant app on my phone, the test project opens and replies “this application isn’t available in your country”. I am located in Canada.
Would appreciate any assistance on why this restriction is coming up.
I changed my phone language from English (Canada) to English (US) and it works. I’m not sure why English isn’t universal but at any rate that solved the problem!

Is there an emulator for Google Assistant?

I am developing Google Actions for Google Assistant. Is there an emulator of Google Assistant for Linux available? I believe this would be easier during development, instead of having to use my phone all the time.
I know there is https://console.actions.google.com, but I am not sure if this has all capabilities built in. Should Google Actions (such as cards, suggestion clips, carousel, ...) also work here?
You should be able to do almost all of your development using the actions simulator: https://developers.google.com/actions/tools/simulator
There are a few exceptions dealing with cross device scenarios and intent invocation for Android.
The simulator is better than developing on a phone since it provides detailed logging and request/response JSON payloads.

How to change language in Actions in google web simulator?

I have created an agent in French in API.AI. After that when I go to the web simulator the other langugaes are greyed out.
Even the things I typed in french are pronounced in english.Does any one know what is the root cause for this ?
The reason is that currently only english (both US and GB) is supported.
In the future you will be able to use the other languages.
Currently, only English (en-US, and sorta en-UK) are supported for Actions on Google. Additional language support was announced at I/O and should be available later this year. It looks like the Simulator has gotten some changes recently to anticipate these updates.
