             Project: Asterisk
          Issue Type: Bug
      Security Level: None
          Components: Sounds
         Environment: N.A.

Spanish translation for digits/h-billion is wrong, in Spanish, a billion is equivalent to a million million (i.e. 1,000,000,000,000) like old Brithish English. 

To make sure we are talking about the same, here is a snippet of the code:

{code:title=main/say.c|borderStyle=solid}
...
     } else if (num < INT_MAX) {
       int billions = num / 1000000000;
       num = num % 1000000000;
...
{code}

We are talking of a thousand million, which in spanish is:

"Milmillonésimo" (thousand = mil, millonésimo = million).

>From the Royal Academy of Language dictionary:

http://lema.rae.es/drae/?val=milmillon%C3%A9simo
milmillonésimo, ma.
1. adj. Se dice de cada una de las 1000 millones de partes iguales en que se divide un todo. U. t. c. s.

Translation:
1. adj. It is said of each of the 1,000 million equal parts into which a whole is divided


http://lema.rae.es/drae/?val=billion%C3%A9simo
billonésimo, ma.
(De billón).
2. adj. Mat. Que ocupa en una serie el lugar al cual preceden otros 999 999 999 999 lugares.

Translation:
2. adj. Math. Place that occupy in a serie which precede other 999 999 999 999 places

That means in English a Trillion, so in resume a "Billón" in spanish is a Trillion in english and "Milmillonésimo" means a billionth.

French translation seems to be right as it says milliardième, which comes from the word milliard which means milmillonésimo or millardo in spanish therefore, a billion in english. Anyway, someone with proper credentials in french should verify it.
