So how does Alexa’s Cleo skill work? Well, users will have to command Alexa to enable or open Cleo. After which Alexa will ask the user about the choice of language that he/she would be speaking. After the confirmation of the language like Hindi or Marathi, Alexa will ask you specific words and sentences which you have to translate in your chosen language.
