One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that expands a symbolic representation of a data item into a locale-specific textual representation of the data item. The system operates by first receiving a locale-independent symbolic representation of the data item. Next, the system obtains a locale attribute that identifies a version of a language that is spoken in a locale, and then expands this symbolic representation of the data item into the locale-specific textual representation of the data item.

A method of providing speech recognition resolution on an application server in a communication network includes receiving an utterance from an end-user, for example, at a Voice Gateway in response to a prompt by an application prompt, capturing the utterance, and dispatching it via the application server to a speech recognition provider. The method further includes performing item-matching via a search algorithm, returning items matching the utterance to the application server, and returning relevant utterance matches to the application, for example, on the Voice Gateway, for communication to the user.
