Thanks for your feedback, I will forward it to the product team.

Customers normally pick an English word (or something close to English word) so that it can easily expand to multiple countries without changing the keyword. For example we used Cortana for ES/FR/DE/EN locale. This should be supported already in our portal. If you really need actual customized keyword to be language specific, e.g. Japanese word or Chinese word or Russian word. This needs the portal support since the pronunciation of each language is unique and we are going to expand to more supported languages as mentioned above. Furthermore, if you need different accent support for that selected keyword for users coming from different language background (e.g., French user speaking Cortana), the seed English model already has some capability to support those accents. If the quality doesn’t meet the bar after customization, we could work to further improve.

Also, please feel free to check out our documentation on how to create a keyword in speech studio.
