Adding Brazilian Portuguese support to FreePBX

To add Brazilian Portuguese language support to freePBX you have to loging to the pbx with the root user using ssh (putty) and do the following:

Change to the root folder:

cd /root

Download the zipped ptBR language pack to the server:

wget http://www.tsci.com.br/ftp/arquivos/Asterisk-sounds-pt_BR.tar.gz

Extract the zipped file:

tar -xvzf Asterisk-sounds-pt_BR.tar.gz

Copy the file into the freePBX sound folder:

cp -rv pt_BR /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/

Configure freePBX to use the new language files:

echo "language=pt_BR" >>/etc/asterisk/sip_general_custom.conf

Restart freePBX:

service asterisk reload

Once these steps have been followed freePBX will be configured for pbBR and all of the messages will now be in portugese not english which is the default language.
