By default, the phone is set up for English. To enable the use of another language, you must set up the dictionary
for the language. For some languages, you must also set up the font for the language.
After the setup is complete, you or your users can specify the desired language for the phone display.

unzip the file.
Dictionaries and fonts for all the supported languages are included in the zip file. Dictionaries are XML scripts.
Fonts are standard TTF files.
Step 2 On the phone administration web page, go to Admin Login > Advanced > Voice > Regional. In the Language
section, specify the necessary parameters and values in the Dictionary Server Script field as described below.
Use a semicolon (;) to separate multiple parameter and value pairs.
