You could still use language.  Its not limited to two letters, at least
not with SetLanguage() (I havent seen the realtime parts for this so I
dont know there, but it shouldnt be).  

You could use language just to mean 'use a different set of prompts' and
if the prompt doesnt exist in the subdir it will use the 'default
language' prompt.  

So if you have greetings (greeting.gsm):
default: hello there
lang1: how now brown cow
lang2: the quick brown fox jumps

and create in your /usr/share/asterisk/sounds (or whatever) directory a
directory called 'lang1' and a directory called 'lang2' and placed the
appropriate greeting.gsm in each directory the prompts would be
different if you did
language=lang1 *or* SetLanguage(lang1) depending on how you wanted to do
it.

If you cant do this from the realtime stuff you could do it via an AGI
or dbget() to get the appropriate language as needed.
