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 (TTS), 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 TTS 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 cannot see it for any reason, or if you have removed an MAS from the voice mail domain. This menu command is only enabled when you select a voice mail domain in the tree. The ScanSoft User Dictionary Editor (UDE) is an application designed to create and edit user dictionaries for TTS. This is installed automatically with Modular Messaging, and can be launched via Start > Programs > ScanSoft > RealSpeak 4.0 > Launch rsude.exe. This application has online help to describe its usage.
