VMSC - VMD - Languages Dialog Box

This topic describes how to use the Languages dialog box to configure languages for a voice mail domain.

You can configure multiple languages for use by the Telephone User Interface (TUI) and enable multilingual text-to-speech, if you wish.

You must set a primary language for the voice mail domain. This is played by the TUI, unless instructed otherwise, for example, by caller language selection, or by subscriber mailbox configuration. If multilingual text-to-speech conversion is requested and the language of the text cannot be determined, then this language is used.


Notes: The primary language must be a language that is installed on all Messaging Application Servers (MASs) in the voice mail domain. There is another Languages dialog box in the Voice Mail System Configuration application, which appears under the tree view of each MAS in the voice mail domain. This displays a list of all languages installed on that particular MAS. See VMSC - MAS - Languages Dialog Box. You can use the Edit > Refresh Domain Languages menu command to refresh the languages for the selected voice mail domain. This should be used, if you have installed a language and can’t see it for any reason, or if you have removed an MAS from the VMD. This menu command is only enabled when you select a VMD in the tree.

Launching the Screen

In the Voice Mail System Configuration window, click the voice mail domain.

Double-click Languages. The system displays the Languages dialog box for the selected VMD, with the Domain Languages tab active.

Configuring the Screen Controls

Primary Language Select the primary language to be used by the TUI. The list contains all the languages in the voice mail domain. The system displays Not Set by default.

Enable Multilingual Text-to-Speech Select, if you want language recognition to be used to identify the correct language for converting text into speech. If cleared, the primary language in the voice mail domain is used for all text-to-speech conversions. This check box is cleared by default.

Selecting this option enables the Select one or more languages to use for text-to-speech list.

Select one or more languages to use for text-to-speech Use the check boxes to select the languages that you want to enable for text-to-speech conversions. By default only the primary language is selected.

If the voice mail domain contains MASs from an earlier release, all languages supported by these MASs are listed. The languages supported by all MASs in the voice mail domain are selected by default. You can select additional languages but these will only be available on MASs that support them.
