Translating voice messages in French : where's the "to" ?
Hi, I'm translating the voice messages, so that they are in French, and with "real names". f/ex, instead of "Node 1234 connected to node 5678", I want to hear : "Ajaccio VHF connecte a hub voip" I found the corresponding audio files in /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/rpt, and I recorded them in French. But I still hear the "to" in English, and I didn't find any file named "to.ulaw" or "to.gsm". So, where's the "to" ? ;-)
they use the number 2 audio file. English is so wonderful. -- Bryan Sent from my iPhone 6S...No electrons were harmed in the sending of this message.

There are other sound folder used by asterisk in /var/lib/asterisk/sounds, not just /rpt. e.g. "digits" for numbers, etc. _____ From: app_rpt-users-bounces@ohnosec.org [mailto:app_rpt-users-bounces@ohnosec.org] On Behalf Of Toussaint OTTAVI Sent: Sunday, April 03, 2016 5:48 AM To: app_rpt-users@ohnosec.org Subject: [App_rpt-users] Translating voice messages in French : where's the"to" ?

You might also look into changing the default language. If you REALLY want to get your fingers dirty. *From:* app_rpt-users-bounces@ohnosec.org [mailto:app_rpt-users-bounces@ohnosec.org] *On Behalf Of *Toussaint OTTAVI

I already set "FR" in various Asterisk files, but I did not investigate further. I saw thete's a "fr" folder in the "sounds", but it's empty. Anyway, I do not really need a full French-speaking system. Pre-recorded files replacing the original ones will do the job for basic repeater features. Later, I may need digits/numbers, and letter spelling, but not sure. Moreover, Corsica is an island in the Mediterranean sea with specific prefix (TK), and autonomous government. The final goal would be to speak Corsican, not French :-) Investigating with speech synthesis is in my todo-list. Anyway, I didn't find anything interesting in the free/open-source world. The only good speech synthesis software I found are commercial, so, they're outside of the scope of amateur radio activities (and budget). For now, I bought for $15 of credits on http://acapela-box.com, and I managed to generate all the required audio files, with a very nice voice which will, for sure, increase repeater traffic :-) I requested the price of their full speech-synthesis "SDK", for amateur-radio / non-profit usage. Let's wait for the quote...
You will need to add the fr files by stopping asterisk, running menuselect in the asterisk source directory, down towards the bottom of the menu is the sub menu for the language files. 73, Steve N4IRS On 04/03/2016 01:56 PM, Toussaint OTTAVI wrote:

/var/lib/asterisk/sounds/rpt/nodenames/ <nodenumber>.wav,gsm,ulaw You can record a sound file for NODE NAMES represented a file node number in the above directory. It will replace playing of the node number if the file is present. It could say in any language your want "East Paris Hub". There are a few here in the US that keep and share NODE NAMES for distribution. Perhaps you may have a interest in doing one for the French Language. If so, let us know ! Scheduled - Once a week I run a script download of the current node name lists to that directory. Understanding that "to" and "two" are the same sounding in "english" but probably not french... you have a problem outside of changing the sourcecode and may be the best solid option. ...mike/kb8jnm

That's what I did. I also recorded the "connected" and "disconnected" files. But the "to" is still in English...

For now, I'm not connected to Allstar. It's a "local" network for our island, and it may not exceed 10 repeaters. Of course, using "real names" is far better than using numbers.

In French, "two" has the same sounding as "from" :-)

C is not one of my favourite languages ;-) Anyway, I think that will be the best solution for fine tunings... But for now, I'd like to put things on the air, because we are building a "hamnet" and a datacenter at the same time, and there's a lot of job. Source code will come later in the todo list :-) For now, I'll record the "two" file. I do not need spelling of digits...

Does the Git repo accept commits ? If I modify some code, for my personal needs, can I send it to the "trunk", so that the modifications may be available for other users ?
