HOW TO GET YOUR NEW LANGUAGE ADDED TO THE ASTERISK DISTRIBUTION

As of October 2009, it is possible for new languages to be added to Asterisk if you or your company is willing to have the recordings made and then contribute them under the Creative Commons license. They will then appear in the menus of different languages which can be selected at build time. Find these instructions for details and procedures: http://svn.digium.com/view/asterisk/trunk/doc/lang/language-criteria.txt?view=markup Everyone who has submitted a language below is encouraged to re-package their sound files for addition. Questions can be sent to John Todd (jtodd@digium.com) regarding language additions.

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 ...)
