French languge on Freeswitch

AhmedYassine · Wednesday at 1:21 PM

Hi,

I would like to add the French languge sound files. Is the path below correct?

/usr/share/freeswitch/sounds/fr-ca/fr/ca/june

I have installed the files and verified that they were uploaded correctly, but they do not appear in the FusionPBX interface.

Could you please advise what might be missing?

Thank you.

Hey, how did you install it? I used that script back then. Keep me posted!

Code:

#!/bin/bash


stack_sounds_get () {





    read -r -p "please choose sounds install directory [/usr/share/freeswitch/sounds]: " SOUNDS_DIR


    SOUNDS_DIR=${SOUNDS_DIR:-/usr/share/freeswitch/sounds}





    read -r -p "please choose file ownership permissions [freeswitch]: " SOUNDS_PERMS


    SOUNDS_PERMS=${SOUNDS_PERMS:-freeswitch}





    if [ ! -d /tmp/sounds ]; then


    mkdir -p /tmp/sounds/md5


    cd /tmp/sounds/md5 || { printf "error on line: %s\n" "$LINENO" && exit; }


    else


    cd /tmp/sounds/md5 || { printf "error on line: %s\n" "$LINENO" && exit; }


    fi





    declare -a SOUNDS=(

Hi,

I downloaded the French sound files from the following URLs:

wget https://files.freeswitch.org/releases/sounds/freeswitch-sounds-fr-ca-june-8000-1.0.51.tar.gz
wget https://files.freeswitch.org/releases/sounds/freeswitch-sounds-fr-ca-june-16000-1.0.51.tar.gz
wget https://files.freeswitch.org/releases/sounds/freeswitch-sounds-fr-ca-june-32000-1.0.51.tar.gz
wget https://files.freeswitch.org/releases/sounds/freeswitch-sounds-fr-ca-june-48000-1.0.51.tar.gz
Then I extracted them directly into the FreeSWITCH sounds directory:

tar -xzf freeswitch-sounds-fr-ca-june-8000-1.0.51.tar.gz -C /usr/share/freeswitch/sounds/ 
tar -xzf freeswitch-sounds-fr-ca-june-16000-1.0.51.tar.gz -C /usr/share/freeswitch/sounds/ 
tar -xzf freeswitch-sounds-fr-ca-june-32000-1.0.51.tar.gz -C /usr/share/freeswitch/sounds/ 
tar -xzf freeswitch-sounds-fr-ca-june-48000-1.0.51.tar.gz -C /usr/share/freeswitch/sounds/ 
After that, I fixed the permissions:

chmod -R 755 /usr/share/freeswitch/sounds/fr 
Then I reloaded the configuration:

fs_cli -x "reloadxml" 
However, I still cannot find "fr-ca" in the language selection in FusionPBX.

Could you please advise what might be missing?

Thank you.
