Also note that Asterisk will use French number saying rules as long as
the language (the "LANGUAGE" pseudo variable) is "fr" or its prefix
(anything up to the first '_') is "fr".

If you want to test that, try on a system with no French prompts but
with the standard English ones:

  ln -s en /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/fr

Or alternatively:

  ln -s en /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/fr_WhatEver

Now set the language (as described above) to 'fr_WhatEver' and try using
SayNumber. e.g.:

  channel originate SIP/yourphone Application SayNumber 245

I figure a prompt or two will be missing.
