I had this confusion when I started - 'uk' indications, yet 'en' language.

ok, we have an 'es' syntax for saynumber() but it doesn't seem to 
support "ciento uno" as yet.
Is this the only number that changes?
What about 102? 110? 1001?

In the current syntax patch, it requests a soundfile 'cien.gsm' as 
that's what the original patch author made available for download:
http://voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+sound+files+international

If you have a more complete set (this only includes digits) then could 
you make it available for download?

I would prefer to rename 'cien.gsm' as the more standard '100.gsm'
'ciento' is basically 'hundred and', right?
For other languages we standardise on '100-and.gsm' for that kind of 
thing...

Comments welcome :)
