Asterisk as a product is in no way closed to Allison's voice prompts.
If that was the case, it would be a serious roadblock for international
use.
There are plenty of Asterisk voice prompts in various languages
(and various qualities) out there.

I am sure that if you pay an artist to record all voice prompts and
donate them to the project - and keep them up to date by adding new ones
as needed - they will happily be included in the asterisk-sounds
distribution.

Allisons voice prompts included in the Asterisk distribution is more to
be seen as a sample of a full prompt set and something that is extremely
useful for US companies setting up an in-house PBX. If you set up a full
scale service provider, you will propably want your own voice prompts in
your own language.
