A better solution is write special modules for different language to say 1) a string of digits 2) numbers 3) currencies

its a little more than recorded files for some languages. Say has a few
different sub-applications like SayNumber which says a number.  Some
langauges, like Japanese need to have a context for numbers to say them
correctly, so if you record 'ni' for '2' then it will say 'ni' every
time it is to say the number two which doesnt work well when there are
differences, 2 calls in the queue, 2 minutes left, etc.  If this
limitation is fine for chineese (I dont know) then you can simply just
record a few files, place them into your sounds directory (subdir the
language name ie /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/cn) and SetLanguage in your
dialplan to 'cn' for example to use the sounds from there.  If you dont
need it to be so dynamic you can set the language in your config files
instead.
