Dates pronunciation

Post by nevenfi »

I'm developing a service that can read messages in french, english & german. The messages contain dates. I have tried:

<say-as type="date">17/12/2007</say-as>

But this only works in french, in english & german it simply reads this as if the say-as tag was omitted (it literally says 17 slash 12 slash 2007).

How can I get this to work with English and German?

IVR support for dates in different languages

Post by support »

Hi,

You should use the "date:dmy" type for the <say-as> tag in IVR code. However, there are different formats for the dates for the languages.

For French: 17/12/2007
For English: 12/17/2007
For German: 17.12.2007

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Plum Support
