Importing a localized image into XMetaL

[Infochick]

XMetaL has stumped me.
I am using XMetaL Author Enterprise 6.0 and need help with the steps necessary to import a localized/translated image into the image repository.
When I change my language settings to something other than English, lets say, French, how would you import the French version of the English image?
The naming format I use to import an English image is:
Original name of graphic====high.BMP
Would I need to enter FR-FR somewhere within that file name?

Thanks!

You mention a repository. Presumably this means XMetaL Author Enterprise is integrated with a content management system (CMS) of some kind.

We would need to know which CMS you are working with to try to answer this question. If the CMS you are using is not one we provide the connector (integration) for then your question should be directed to the CMS vendor.

XMetaL has not file naming requirements so I suspect those are either coming from the CMS itself, or they are self-imposed or by your workflow, or by 3rd party tools (either integrated with XMetaL or perhaps further downstream). I don't think I can answer your question about that language code (FR-FR) without more information as well.
