I think it only works with the English language ;)

I don't think samantha.son was asking about language as much as the location.
So I guess it would depend on the App. Since Amazons Alexa will work as long as you have a internet connection.
However not all hard coded things like getting local weather will work.

That may be, but this was a question from a newbie, and if it was a joke it should have been followed with the fact that it will work there!

Being in America, I had no idea whether it works in Ireland or not. So all I had to offer was the joke.
Btw I was in Ireland last year, and what a gorgeous nation and wonderful people. Now if only they spoke English, and drove on the right side of the road.... :)
