You might use:

        <abbr class="type"
title="voice">Tel<abbr>

        <abbr class="type"
title="fax">Fax<abbr>

and:

        <abbr class="type"
title="voice">Tél<abbr>

        <abbr class="type"
title="fax">Téléc<abbr>

Though there are concerns that that's an abuse of
"abbr".

There is a possible alternative, inspired from 
http://microformats.org/wiki/hcard-
faq#How_do_you_create_non_English_tooltips

<span class="type"
title="Téléc">Fax</span>:

If abbr is considered to be too semantically incorrect, it's
the only 
other currently viable method where the native language term
is revealed 
in a tooltip.
