LANGUAGE()

Reads/sets the language of the current channel. This setting determines, among other things, which audio files are played. If the language is set to de and Playback(tt-weasels) is run in the dialplan, Asterisk will play de/tt-weasels, if it exists, and similarly for SayDigits() and other applications which rely on pre-recorded audio files.
