Capabilities API
To use version 1.0 of the Settings interface, it must be declared in your call to the Capabilities API. For additional details, see Capabilities API.

SettingsUpdated Event
The SettingsUpdated event must be sent when Alexa settings are adjusted using on-product controls or a companion app. For example, your user may change their locale setting from US (en-US) to Germany (de-DE) using your companion app. When this happens, your client must notify Alexa of the change with the SettingsUpdated event.
Note: If a malformed or unsupported value is sent to Alexa an exception message is returned.
