Multi-language sounds

The localization tool is great for supporting multiple languages for text messages and I begin to wonder if the same was possible for sounds.
Right now I'm playing with the idea to implement custom voice over sounds and I'd like to include English and German space chatter, depending on the selected language.
Is something like that possible?
The only thing if found was gamelogic.getteamlanguage but I've got no idea how to use that.

I've personally never tried anything with it (since I don't know how to run the game in any language but English [does anyone know how, by the way?
]) but basically you just use extra .stm files with an underscore followed by the name of the language in the file extension. For example, if you have cis_unit_vo_quick.stm, the German STM file would be cis_unit_vo_quick.stm_german.

Did a quick search on the Internet and first result was this.

i have found a Way to change the Language and the Multiplayer Masterserver in Star Wars Battlefront 2.
This fix also the empty Multiplayer Serverlist for European Gamers.
You must only set the Launch Options in the Properties of the Game in Steam.
Write in the Launch Options /lang and your Language Code.
Example for German: /lang 4
Language Codes:
Quote: US Masterserver:
0 English
EU Masterserver:
1 Spanish
2 Italian
3 French
4 German
6 English
Others:
5 Let's Crash my Game Japanese I guess]
7 and more are not available
I've tried it and can confirm that it works, even for non-steam versions of the game.
In my case the audio was still in German (as opposed to the menus) but I guess that's just because my DVD doesn't include any English audio files.
This should come in handy when testing the English sound samples
