Hello all!

There's been some discussion lately on how to handle multiple languages, specifically with the say application. We would like some input from the community on how to handle multiple languages and sound files. Anthony notes that the say application needs to build the path to the sound files by using the ${sound_prefix} and ${lang} variables. Some have asked about countries or language variants, like European Portugese vs. Brazilian Portugese. These are good questions.

What it's the problem about Portuguese VS Brazilian?

Can't we just use "PT_pt" and "PT_br" in ${lang}, just like a lot of others softwares do?

What about ${sound_prefix} = ${lang}, since ${lang} should always be unique, and you make the path's automatically language organized?

>From the community we need input. If you have experience with multiple languages in a telephony environment then please give us your suggestions. How would you like to see the say application handle various languages and dialects? Please give us your helpful suggestions.

Thanks,
Michael
