But did you scroll down the (long) listing of the sound files
http://downloads.asterisk.org/pub/telephony/sounds/releases/
You don't say which language(s) you are into; such as en; en_GB; fr; es; and I presume (without my looking) etc. etc. ??
the following threads deal with upgrade asterisk to current version.

'make menuselect' is run during the upgrade and provides a menu where you can decide to install various features. Mostly the defaults are what is required unless of course you ALSO want to install your set of language files as part of the upgrade.
The language files tarball can be downloaded, untar, and placed into their proper place on your server.
for example mine were added in /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/en_GB
your default en sounds are in
/var/lib/asterisk/sounds/en (keep them in (en) for reference)
of course some are grouped into subdirectories such as
..../sounds/en/dictate or digits or followme or letters or phonetic or silence .
Getting the language files to work involves searching for the language=en
doing a search and replace with your (=en_GB or sojmething) in various files by searching for the relevant text e.g. language=en and search/replace for en with your language directory name as 'en_GB' for example
Before editing any files note that some files contain the fPBX warning not to edit notably *_additional.conf
The changes are to be done in the *_custom.conf files of similar name
my search came up with
Code:
/etc/default/locale
/etc/locale.gen
/etc/asterisk/extensions_custom.conf
/etc/asterisk/say.conf
Do NOT edit: /etc/asterisk/extensions_additional.conf
/etc/asterisk/globals_custom.conf
Do NOT edit: /etc/asterisk/sip_general_additional.conf
Which language is used is just a matter of telling the dialplan which subdirectory within 'sounds' it should use.
If your particular language recording is missing then asterisk will use the equivalent from the en directory or something.
Don't forget to do an
before you start. If you edit any files first do make a backup.
