1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
receiving audio data representing speech;
determining, using a first wakeword-detection component, that the speech includes a wakeword;
determining, using the first wakeword-detection component, language data indicating that the speech corresponds to a first spoken language;
determining, using a second wakeword-detection component and the language data, that the speech includes the wakeword; and
based at least in part on the second wakeword-detection component determining that the speech includes the wakeword, causing speech processing to be performed using the audio data.
