Yes the default language in system settings is set to English UK en_GB.

In the script I used the language variable and set this to de_DE.

Creating a language variable does nothing unless you apply it. You can qualify the specific language against the document at your Create XML Document step using an @ qualifier; or, possibly just specify DOC[de_DE\filename.xml] in the parameter.

The qualifier is explained in the Expression Language Reference document, page 152:

My answer to a previous post may also shed some light on language control within CCX/IPIVR:

Thanks for your help.  Even if I set the location to DOC[de_DE\filename.xml] the

system insists on searching en_GB\de_DE\filename.xml.  So if

I put the xml file in this location it works but this is not how I want it to work.  Is there anything else I can check?

Yep that worked!

In my variable I used DOC[IT\filename.xml] @ L[de_DE]

Thank you.
