I suppose you need a different syntax for it. Look for the string "he" or "de" (with quotes) in main/asterisk.c and add similar functions. Also, regarding https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Asterisk+Sounds+Submission+Process Any reason not to accept CC-BY-SA-4 for new submissions? Rationale: for the CC licenses ver. 3 there are multiple variants for several countries.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Sound files quality and volume
I tried using sox -v but not any noticable change. You mentioned I can use wavs for voice prompts (playback and background) instead of gsm? If this is the case, I do have normalize here so that can be used. What I I mean for bad quality is a hissing noise on recordings but surprisingly enough, the default samples sound quite good for gsm so.. Whats the catch? Wavepad is a windows app that can save directly to gsm..
