Since we access language strings with "array[index]" everything that makes us
increase the index without actually storing a useful string there is wasteful.

I don't see how we can have them in the same array without wasting strings.

It won't get shifted unless you remove voice entries, and you mustn't remove
entries without chaning the voice file number, in the exact same manner the
binary languages work. You don't remove language ids either.

No. Empty text fields in the .lang file is how we deprecate ordinary language
strings. We can't assume that deprecated strings should be spoken! ;-)

I chose the 'spoken only' string since you had already used that on all
strings that are spoken only and I didn't want to add any extra control-option
to the file.
