Language identifier
A language identifier is part of the grammar header that specifies the language to be used when performing decodes.
The format of the language identifier follows the convention set out by RFC 3066. In a nutshell, the identifier is a language and country pair, like "en-US" for United States English. For more information, see Working With Languages.
The LumenVox Speech Engine currently supports the following languages:
| Language Code | Description |
| en-US | American English acoustic model and dictionary |
| en-AU | Australian English acoustic model and dictionary |
| en-GB | U.K. English acoustic model and dictionary |
| en-IN | Indian English acoustic model and dictionary |
| es-MX | Mexican Spanish acoustic model and dictionary |
| es-CO | South American Spanish acoustic model and dictionary |
| fr-CA | French Canadian acoustic model and dictionary |
| pt-BR | Brazilian Portuguese acoustic model and dictionary |
| de-DE | German acoustic model and dictionary |
| it-IT | Italian acoustic model and dictionary |
To specify the interaction mode in a grammar, use the following syntax in your grammar:
ABNF
language en-US; |
GrXML
| <grammar language="en-US" ... > |
Digits-only Grammars
Prior to legacy version 9.1, LumenVox supported a non-standard language type with a suffix of "-di" to indicate the language only included digits.
This functionality is now obsolete, as the Engine will automatically determine when it should use a digits-only acoustic model. If you specify a language with a suffix of "-di" it will be ignored by the Engine in any release starting with legacy version 9.1.
