In fact, the files have normal English-sounding names and the initial .pot 
files share those names.  Generally, the names are something close to the 
section names.  Over time, though, authors may tweak section names, and 
generally people want somewhat shorter file names, so the title and the file 
name probably don't match 100%, but in general, they are close.

Adding section numbers does get to be a problem, though.  As the document 
develops, sections get added and rearranged and having file names 
incorporate section names gets to be something of a maintenance problem, 
especially since each file's base name tends to show up in dozens of places.
