How to save soundfiles for usage in the Wikimedia projects

As there are many Wiktionary projects all aiming to have all words in all languages, the recorded soundfiles should be saved in Commons. It is vitally important that the content is saved with appropriate license information. Without it, there is a good chance that this content will be removed from the Commons project. When a file is saved, it is expected to conform to a naming convention. The name is in three parts: xx.yyyyy.ogg; where xx is the language code and yyyyy is the word or phrase that was pronounced. When the language is not typical, it can be extended to indicate an accent or a dialect. These extensions need to conform to the same standard because otherwise it would be chaos. It would make a valuable resource worthless.
