I wonder, could you just put merge them?
So the english language file has the string, and then the phonetic version
of the string? No language changes necessary and no fumbling with what to
call the term?

That way the display will always show the proper spelling, and the voice
will read from the phonetic line for that string, where available, and the
literal where such a thing isn't (filenames, etc).
