<Stefan27> Does the sound prompt searching as in https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Sound+Prompt+Searching+based+on+Channel+Language really work as the wiki page says? I tried putting Set(CHANNEL(language)=en_test) and then Playback(mooon.wav) but this only works when i have created a file called mooon.wav in the sounds/en directory, not when i create it in the sounds/en/test directory

<mjordan> I'm not sure the wiki page is correct however.
<mjordan> Asterisk will do a fallback, in that if you have a sound in en_foo, it will play it - but if that sound doesn't exist, it will check en next
<mjordan> What I'm not sure of is that it will form a path search from the underscores.
<mjordan> But I haven't dug deep enough to know for sure.
<mjordan> looking all the way back to 1.8, it looks like it would not form a sub-directory search. I think the wiki page is probably just wrong.
<mjordan> Based on the example there, it would instead do the following:
<mjordan> If the channel language is "en_GB_female_BT", check for that folder first, i.e., sounds/en_GB_female_BT
<mjordan> If it didn't find the sound, check sounds/en_GB_female
<mjordan> again, if it didn't find it, check sounds/en_GB
<mjordan> and finally, check sounds/en
