Let's say we want to install a 16KHz French sounds pack recorded by June Wallack, on VoipNow 3.5. For that we need to download the proper archive.

Shell
mkdir /root/french cd french wget http://downloads.asterisk.org/pub/telephony/sounds/asterisk-core-sounds-fr-sln16-current.tar.gz wget http://downloads.asterisk.org/pub/telephony/sounds/asterisk-extra-sounds-fr-sln16-current.tar.gz

Extract sounds from both archives and arrange those sounds in the correct format for a sound pack. Basically, all the sounds that are not part of a folder must go to a fr folder that you need to create.

Shell
mkdir fr fr mv *.sln16 fr

On the other folders, except the new fr folder, there must be a fr folder with all the sounds from that folder. Basically, every other folder must include a fr sub-folder containing all the sounds. For instance, all the sounds from the dictate folder must go under the fr folder that must be created under dictate. In the end, the directory structure must be the following:

...

Once the sounds are converted, you need to move them to the folder used by Asterisk to store sounds and set the correct owner for those files: 

Shell
cp -Rap * /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/ chown -R asterisk: /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/

At this point, you need to select the French as Phone language in the "Edit User" section in phone language select.
