Summary:                    app_followme does not set correct language/inherit
from calling channel for Local/xxxxx channels it creates
Description: 
app_followme does not set correct language for Local/xxxxx channels it
creates, that causes prompts that are played to the called party
(Local/xxxxx channel) are `en` prompts like "press one to accept this call,
press two to..." rather than `xx` language prompts which are played to the
calling party, assuming that channel's language is set from channel's
config file (chan_dahdi.conf, sip.conf, etc.).
chan_local doesn't have it's config file, thus that might be usefull to
inherit parent channel's language in this case.
Similar to https://issues.asterisk.org/view.php?id=9213 , we may reopen
it.

Sounds good.
Except that your soultion is a feature and probably will not be
implemented for 1.4.x but for 1.6.x. And my suggestion is considered to be
a bug thus should be fixed for both 1.4.x and 1.6.x =)
My other thoughts are that we already have language=xx in users.conf,
sip.conf, chan_dahdi.conf, etc. for the extensions - think of devices
described there as of extensions, if they have HINT in the dialplan in
extensions.conf. Thus if we call for an example "303" and by the hint we
know that this is a "SIP/phone-303" and has language=fr in it's
configuration, then why not to use "fr" prompts for channels that are
created when FollowMe tries to reach the user? That seems to be reasonable
to use "fr" prompts, because first user's phone "SIP/303" is french.
