Hi Tod,

I do this all the time with no problem. You're probably missing some
macros, as Stef suggests. Here's a working example from my macros
directory (for a metadata field called "film") that you can compare your
version to.

Of course, you need the appropriate images in the correct directories. Be
careful that the translate.pl script doesn't put your images in
$GSDLHOME/images/en when they're supposed to be in $GSDLHOME/images. (Note
that translate.pl may also change your macro file to compensate for this
quirk.)

HTH,
Gordon
