Do you think
[Spoken Name]
Name=foo
Name[de]=foo de
GenericName=do foo
GenericName[de]=do foo de
Comment=foo foo
Comment=foo foo de

or
Spoken Name=foo
Spoken Name[de]=foo de

In the second case, you should also consider "Spoken GenericName" or even "Spoken Comment" for more intelligent assistant that can guess and ask.
