I have FreePBX set up and things like voicemail announcements were in English. I downloaded the files in my language and replaced the files in the “en” directory (/var/lib/asterisk/sounds/en) which works great. I guess this is not the correct way, which would be to create a new directory with the correct ISO code for my language, place the files in that directory and change the language of the system. The problem is, I can’t seem to find the language setting.
That path will be used by asterisk to search for a usable sound file based on the “Language” of the current “channel”, I am not sure if you can do it in the GUI (I looked a bit in FreePBX 11 ) but editing /etc/asterisk/asterisk.conf to reflect
defaultlanguage=nl
should clue asterisk where to start looking without individually setting extensions, inbound routes etc. to your language of choice
This is a 13. feature. That said no one should be on 2.11 at this point. Everyone should be on 12 at a minimum with a plan to migrate to 13. We have 14 in progress which will drop 12 support to security only.
