Asterisk sound files international

Installation

  • Use language= in a .conf file, or use the CHANNEL(language) function (1.4+) resp. the SetLanguage() application in extensions.conf
  • Place the voice prompts into a directory structure as follows (usually within /var/lib/asterisk/:
    • sounds/xx
    • sounds/digits/xx
    • sounds/letters/xx
    • sounds/phonetic/xx
where xx is the two letter ISO code of the language in question (nl, fr, de, it, pt, es ...)

NOTE: The file structure for 1.4 is different than for 1.2!
Asterisk 1.4 supports a new layout for sound files in multiple languages; instead of the alternate-language files being stored in subdirectories underneath the existing files (for French, that would be digits/fr, letters/fr, phonetic/fr, etc.) the new layout creates one directory under /var/lib/asterisk/sounds for the language itself, then places all the sound files for that language under that directory and its subdirectories. This is the layout that will be created if you select non-English languages to be installed via menuselect, HOWEVER Asterisk does not default to this layout and will not find the files in the places it expects them to be. If you wish to use this layout, make sure you put 'languageprefix=yes' in your /etc/asterisk/asterisk.conf file, so that Asterisk will know how the files were installed.

333Danish voices?

by truelz, Wednesday 07 of March, 2007 [22:29:55 UTC]
The link to danish voices has gone dead.
Right now I do only have the GSM version of the voices, does anyone have the alaw/wav uncompressed version?
If anybody is interested, I can host the files afterwards, the link has been down for some time now and it doesn't seem to get up again.

Does anybody know what happened to http://www.desktop2door.com/asterisk/? It's been unavailable the last few times I've tried to view it. If anyone has the asterisk_uk_female.tar.gz file from this website I very much appreciate a copy.

333Australian sound file

by madadam, Sunday 30 of January, 2005 [04:43:50 UTC]
Annoyed with the use of American phrases like "press POUND to..."? I am looking for Australian Asterisk users to join an Australian Asterisk User Group and to share the cost in finding an Australian voice-over talent to develop an Australian sound files package. Visit my website at http://www.mediaiq.com.au to contact me.

Cheers(:biggrin:)
