asterisk users - Mar 2005 - How use Spanish / English prompts on same box

Hi-

Can someone help me conceptualize how I could setup an * box which features both
English and Spanish prompts? I know it's possible to configure the box to
use one or the other, but how could I setup a multi-lingual box? Any
suggestions?

Thanks in advance,

Mike

Press one to continue in English, Press 2 for Spanish.

Are you talking about "everything" or just some of the apps?

Just a little more information please.

In addition to what has been said about how to do this in your
extensions.conf:

Asterisk assumes the prompts below /var/lib/asterisk/sounds are the default
language. If you specify a language setting for a channel (either in the
channel/friend/peer definition or by executing SetLanguage on the channel)
it will look for prompts in /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/<language>/

So:

The English 'beep' goes in /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/
The Spanish 'beep' goes in /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/es/

Ofcourse the choice of prompt ('beep') is completely random :)
Repeat this process for all subfolders.

You get the picture.

Best regards,
Florian
