(See the log of http://sourceforge.net/p/opalvoip/code/26681 for example for a workaround.)
I think that's a bad bug which I'm likely responsible for. Report it in the issue tracker and we'll fix it. 

I guess that very few use our presence event support in SIP. If more people used it, they would have asked for the text prompts in their own language. That can be a reason why it has gone undetected for so long.

I still remember the reason WHY I implemented Event: Presence in Asterisk. I had paid 50 canadian dollars for a softphone and it simply did not work with Asterisk. With such a huge investment, I just had to make it work... ;-)

At some points
