Techniques for selecting a skill to execute in response to a natural language input are described. A system may receive a natural language input, determine profile data associated with the natural language input, and determine the profile data indicates a locale and at least first language and second languages. The system determines first and second sets of skills corresponding to the locale/first language and locale/second language, respectively. The system determines a first group of skill candidates corresponding to a portion of the first set of skills, and determines a second group of skill candidates corresponding to a portion of the second set of skills. The system performs ranking processing across the first and second groups of skills to determine a best skill for responding to the natural language input. Thus, in some situations, the skill invoked may not correspond to the same language represented in the natural language input.
