Adding additional languages

To add a language:

  1. Add a new Language key-value pair to the idtel.cfg file and restart the Phone Password Manager service.

    For example, add the line:

    Language = fr-ca

  2. In psynch.psl, set the value:

    $selectlang = 1;

    This value enables the language select menu, which prompts users to select their language preference before entering the main menu.

  3. Create a subdirectory in <instance>\audio\ that matches the language code (<lang>-<locale>) for the language you will be adding.

    For example, create a directory named fr-ca, to handle files for Canadian French. This code must match the key-value pair configured in step 1.

  4. Record a complete set of new vocals in the appropriate language, and save the files in the newly created directory. These new files should use the same names as their counterparts in the default en-us folder.

  5. (Optional) Enable language support by extension. Uncomment the following code block in psynch.psl:

       // Extension to language mapping table: 
   var $langmapping[]; 
   //$langmapping["777"] = "en-us"; 
   //$langmapping["888"] = "fr-fr";

    Enabling this code will configure Phone Password Manager to automatically provide service in an alternate language, depending on the phone extension used to dial in to the system.

Phone Password Manager can offer users any number of language options by default. However, if you wish to offer ten or more language options in the same menu, additional configuration is required to allow Phone Password Manager to prompt for, and accept two-button input in the language selection menu.

To help with translations, the vocal-script.txt file in the <instance>\audio\en-us\ directory contains a complete listing of all shipped English-language files and their transcriptions.

HDD Encryption Audio files

Phone Password Manager includes support for Hard Drive Encryption Systems connectors used by Bravura Pass , such as agtmcee6 for McAfee McAfee Endpoint Encryption 6.x.

To support these functions, Phone Password Manager requires the "HDD Encryption Audio files" package to be installed on the system.

The HDD Encryption package includes several audio files which allow Phone Password Manager to properly present to users the HDD Encryption functions.

If the HDD Encryption Audio files package is added to a running installation which uses the Asterisk® backend, a Phone Password Manager service restart is required to help propagate the new audio files to the Asterisk server.

No configuration is required for the HDD Encryption Audio files, as the Phone Password Manager will automatically recognize the relevant agent and play the corresponding audio when required.
