[asterisk-users] [1.4] Reading phone number the French way?

[Faisal Hanif]

When you compile asterisk you can select multiple language files by using
"make menuselect" additionally you find lot of free sources on internet for
language files. Simply create a folder with language short-code in sounds
and then set channel's language variable to that short-code.

Subject: [asterisk-users] [1.4] Reading phone number the French way?

Hello,

I need to write a script which prompts the callee to type a number, and then
read it back to them as confirmation:

======= extensions.conf
[robocall]
;Expect 10-digit number excluding final #, 2 tries, 20s time-out exten =>
s,n(nbr2call),Read(NBR2CALL,please-type-number,10,,2,20)

exten => s,n,GotoIf($[${LEN(${NBR2CALL})} != 10]?end) ;exten =>
s,n,SayDigits(${NBR2CALL}) exten => s,n,SayNumber(${NBR2CALL})

exten => s,n(end),Hangup()
======= 

Besides the fact that my Asterisk setup only has US sound files in
/var/lib/asterisk/sounds/digits/, I was wondering how to get Asterisk to
read back the number the French way, ie. digits are read by pairs to the
exception of the leading tuple that always starts with 0.

For instance, a landline number in Paris like 01 42 92 81 00 is read
"zero-one, forty-two, ninety-two, eighty-one, zero-zero", where I assume
Americans would read all the digits individually ("zero, one, four, two,
etc.")

Has someone already looked into this and knows how to solve it?

Thank you.
