Put a line

language=es

in the general section of your sip.conf and iax.conf. If you installed
the samples than this is also shown in the sample configuration files.

In the dialplan (extensions.conf) you can add

exten => s,n,Set(CHANNEL(language)=es)

to the default context so that incoming calls hit the spanish version of
the voicemail prompts.

If you want the caller to switch his/her language by dialing 1 or 2 you
can add something like this:

exten => 1,1,Set(CHANNEL(language)=en)
exten => 1,n,Goto(s,start)
exten => 2,1,Set(CHANNEL(language)=es)
exten => 2,n,Goto(s,start)

exten => s,1,BackGround(xw_change_lang)    ; Explain how to switch language
exten => s,n(start),BackGround(welcome)    ; Welcome and instruction
exten => s,n,WaitExten(5)
exten => s,n,BackGround(change_lang)       ; Explain how to switch language
exten => s,n,Goto(start)
