The same "7" sound file is used to indicate both time and quantity. The
sound file could be easily recorded to say "sept heure" but then every
time the VM system tells a user that they have 7 messages they'll hear
something like "vous avez sept heure notification" (excuse my schoolboy
French).
Perhaps rather than writing a VM AGI one could have a French language
patch to the sources?
In general I think the French way is better (I can't believe I just said
that). I tell the time using the 24 hour clock. 7:45AM is correctly
expressed at "7 hours 45 minutes" using the 24 hour system.
Could we have run into another "Americanism" here?
OK, back to being English and bashing the French ;-}

Hi List,
Do you know if there are any plans to improve i18n for Asterisk? The
current i18n way of doing it with asterisk is very limited and most of
the time does not work.
For example, take voicemail:
"message" "received" "at" "seven" "30" "am" might sound good in English.
But:
"message" "recu" "a" "sept" "trente" "apres-midi" sounds terrible in
French, because you *need* to say "sept heure trente" and not "sept
trente".
Is there a way to fix this / improve the situation (other than write own
voicemail AGI)?
Cheers,
Jean-Michel.
