Thanks for the information. With say.conf in /etc/asterisk, I used the
following dialplan:
==================
exten => 2222,1,NoOp(Pseudo LANGUAGE is ${LANGUAGE})
exten => 2222,n,Set(CHANNEL(language)=fr)
exten => 2222,n,Set(NBR2CALL=0142928100)
exten => 2222,n,SayNumber(${NBR2CALL})
exten => 2222,Hangup
==================

Unfortunately, the LANGUAGE variable is empty, and Asterisk still
reads the number as "142 million, 928 thousand, one hundred":
==================

==================

FYI, I put "language=fr" in zapata.conf and sip.conf. Do I need to use
another function than SayNumber() in the diaplan?

Thank you.
