Cool! Thus we could get the word-lists translated into more languages. (Did not understand how this 
would work in terms of definition of to-be-translated words, though).

Maybe we should package the translated word-lists differently (then). Now they come in the 
voices-XX.rcc, which makes sense when word-lists come together with the corresponding ogg-files. 
Already for german this will not be the case as we don't have ogg-files yet (maybe same for 
word-lists that will be translated the po way). So it might make sense to package the contents.json 
in gcompris-qt directly?
