Allow Portal and Portal+ to use commands in other languages for both ‘’Alexa’’ & ‘’Hey Portal’’
The reason why i bought Portal was to communicate with my relatives who mainly speak Spanish, i bought them a portal and the so called ‘’language’’ feature only changes the language but the commands remain in English.

I need this for my grandmother. In her accent, "Hey Portal" sounds more like "Hey Poodle" or "Hey Port-tall".
The reason I needed her to say this was that she turned on Color Inversion and later the Screen Reader. (Someone fixed Color Inversion for her, but in the process they toggled the screen reader).
So ultimately, what I need is the ability for the Portal to let her say "Hey Portal, turn off voice-view" or "Hey Portal, turn off the screen reader" in Portuguese. Alternatively, it would suffice if I could say those commands over the phone in English, but support informed me that accessibility options are not available via voice commands on the Portal, unlike the Echo https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=202158200.

I chatted with a service representative about this same issue. As soon as you change away from English, the voice commands on Portal are disabled. If there is support for French and Spanish like the device claims, it would be very nice to have 'Hey Portal' commands supported in those languages as well. At the very least, documentation indicating that these other langues are only supported from a display standpoint! Please add voice commands in French and Spanish.
