Change the sound file for digits to another languange

[amiedzow]

Hi,

I’m using Asterisk 13.17.0 and I’m setting some sound files in the queues.conf file to use the ones for another language (en_AU) like this:

queue-youarenext=en_AU/queue-youarenext
queue-thankyou=en_AU/queue-thankyou
queue-thereare=en_AU/queue-thereare
queue-callswaiting=en_AU/queue-callswaiting

This works fine but when I try to do the same for the digits used to specify the position in the queue, I do it this way:

digits/2=en_AU/digits/2
digits/3=en_AU/digits/3
digits/4=en_AU/digits/4
digits/5=en_AU/digits/5

and get the following error when trying to reload the configuration:

[Mar 8 12:35:08] WARNING[19644]: app_queue.c:3171 queue_set_param: Unknown keyword in queue ‘support’: digits/2 at line 606 of queues.conf
[Mar 8 12:35:08] WARNING[19644]: app_queue.c:3171 queue_set_param: Unknown keyword in queue ‘support’: digits/3 at line 607 of queues.conf
[Mar 8 12:35:08] WARNING[19644]: app_queue.c:3171 queue_set_param: Unknown keyword in queue ‘support’: digits/4 at line 608 of queues.conf
[Mar 8 12:35:08] WARNING[19644]: app_queue.c:3171 queue_set_param: Unknown keyword in queue ‘support’: digits/5 at line 609 of queues.conf

I found another solution in another post:

Wrong language while saying digits

Hi, I’m using a different language for the sounds files of my Asterisk pbx. This funtions as supposed to after having created a folder sounds.nl in /var/lib/asterisk and changing the config files. However, when I call voicemail, I get messages in the other language (as expected), except for the digits which are in english again. I checked the files themselves by converting them to wav files and listening to them and they are in the other language. I use version 1.4.13 - could there be a probl…

but I’d rather avoid using symlinks when possible. Does anyone know how I can make this work?

Thanks,

Hi.

In my opinion you should use variable ${CHANNEL(language)} in your dialplan to set language for caller. Then in /var/lib/asterisk/sounds you have to have directory with language code. What I mean?

If you set

same => n,Set(CHANNEL(language)=PL)

then you have to have directory PL in your asterisks sound directory, like this: /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/PL with subdirectory with name ‘digits’ and audio files from 0 to 9 for spaeking position in your queue.

I have hope you could understand me

thanks for the response. I can try that.

As a matter of fact, I need all sound files to use the en_AU language so is there a global setting (maybe in asterisk.conf) to set the language of the whole system so that it will use /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/en_AU directory every time (except for custom sounds)?

I have never changed this but you can try changing defaultlanguage = en in /etc/asterisk/asterisk.conf and see if it works for you

changing the setting in /etc/asterisk/asterisk.conf worked like a charm.

Thanks for the help
