I was wondering how anyone has implemented applications handling different languages. I would not want to have different pages for different languages and would like to have the wav files in diff URI's and then any speak-as elements that speak dynamic data specify the language but I cannot get it to work. How is anyone else handling multiple language applications?

Which bit isn't working? The prompts or the TTS?
You can set the prompt directory using a variable in the root document:
var promptDir = 'prompts/en'
then using
<audio expr="promptDir + abc.wav">
you can use different directories for different languages, while keeping the prompt names the same.
The TTS probably needs to be set in the page itself every time -
<vxml xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/vxml" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.w3.org/2001/vxml
http://www.w3.org/TR/voicexml20/vxml.xsd"
version="2.0"
xml:lang="en-US">
This propery is inherited by all grammars and prompts unless otherwise configured.

DrBoB, your reply was what I was planning to do. But for speaking dates etc. I would like to have the same be able to speak the date in diff xml:lang. So far have not been able to get it to work unless I set it at the document level.

Can you post the code that you use when you use speak-as? I seem to remember having problems getting the TTS engine to use different languages in one page. And I think we had to use the prompt tag, rather than SSML to get it working:
<prompt xml:lang="de-DE">
Dieser Prompt sollte auf Deutsch sein.
</prompt>
<prompt xml:lang="en-US">
And this one should be in English.
</prompt>
