Open the IXM Admin > Company Properties > Company Languages tab.

Edit: Select an existing language and click Edit to change the settings for the chosen language.

Remove: This option will delete languages from the selection list. It does not delete the language files from the server; they can be added again later using the Add button.

Set Language as Default: Enable this option to set the current language as the first one that callers will hear when connecting to the system.

Active: When multiple languages are installed on a system, the first thing a caller will hear is a menu asking them to select the language they wish to hear.  Put a checkmark in the box to add this language to the menu.

Note: Each language has its own TTS Voices included with the install. It is recommended that the appropriate voices be used with each language.
