Conclusion—Easy Reference Cheat Sheet
As you can now see, there are quite a few things to change
in order to fully localize your Asterisk-based telephone system, and not
all of them are in the Asterisk, or even DAHDI, configuration—some things
need to be changed on the connected IP phones or ATAs themselves.
Before we leave the chapter, have
a look at Table 9.1, “Internationalization cheat sheet”: a
cheat sheet for what to change and where to change it, for your future
reference.
