Use prompt validation in voice response applications to determine whether strings in resource files are present in the selected prompt project.

Prompt validation in voice response applications compares the selected prompt project against resource files that have the same language as the prompt project and against resource files that are not language-specific. If a string is in the resource file, but is not present in the prompt project as an extraction and a .wav file, an error is displayed in validation results.
