This mechanism allowed to have English sounds if not translated yet, and 
Italian sounds if already translated, without any extra Makefiles magic.

Furthermore, if a sound says "occhiali", it's quite natural to put it in a 
file named "occhiali.wav", no ;-) ?

Once done, the result can be funny ;-).

Be careful: the sound recorder has to be tuned to produce not-too-big data 
files.

Errr... I think there was just one other file but I don't remember which one.

Look the hierarchy in kde-i18n/fr/data.
