this one.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Its been a terribly long time, and i have forgotten
most of the issues we faced.. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>but when we ported a unified messaging product many
years ago to some of the eastern languages. It was almost impossible to
abstract this concept out.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Abstracting something like speaking a URL, Phone
number, Numeric string is perfectly attainable...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>but constructing a useful working sentence is much
more complicated..</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>given "You have 1000 messages", in
english.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial size=2>may need to say "1000 messages you
have", before it makes any sense in Chinese or Piglatin or whatever.</FONT></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT><FONT face=Arial
size=2></FONT> </P></DIV></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>In which case, you end up having to write
seperate IVR code for each language anyway. and having a
"multi-lingular say API" is of extremely limited usefulness.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am not bilingual.. heck i never did any good in
English class either.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Im not trying to throw poo on the idea.. just
skeptical about how useful this may turn out, for anything but a handful of
commonly constructed languages.</FONT></DIV>
