HOWTO Localized System Sound Files

NOTE: To obtain a set of sound files, we suggest a purchase from http://www.westany.com

In order to set up the system to use sound files in a different language (e.g. Spanish):

Interface setup:

  • Navigate to 'Settings: Protocols: SIP'
  • Set 'Default language'='es' (NOTE: This field must be limited to 2 (two) letters)
  • Click on the 'Save' button

Directory setup:

  • Login to the system via shell as a root user
  • Execute 'cd /opt/pbxware/pw/var/lib/asterisk/sounds'
  • Execute 'mkdir es'
  • Execute 'mkdir ./digits/es'
  • Execute mkdir ./letters/es'

Provide sound files:

  • Obtain system Spanish sound files
  • Extract them and put them in the created 'es' directories
  • Restart the PBXware services from the backend:
 /opt/pbxware/sh/stop
 /opt/pbxware/sh/start

NOTE: If a sound file is not found in the new folder, the default sound in English will be played back.
Also, if the system is multi-tenant PBXware and some files would not play for a specific extension, edit that extension and in additional config put:

[endpoint] 
language=es
