[Freeswitch-users] German voice prompts - missing exceptions in mod_say_de.c

[Christian Löschenkohl]

hello

we have done the voice prompts.
what is online under http://freeswitch.xpirio.com/ is only a start as we wanted to
do a second recording session to complete the prompts.
also the xml files and maybe the mod_say module has to be adapted.

maybe we can join our forces here, i have not that much time right now but
i can organize the recording session give some input and so on.
we also hope that this prompts are not only useable for austria but also for germany.
