Which template is used? (I'm assuming it's the 'CategroyMeta-EP2012')
Do I need to add more "v_categories_names_1, 2, 3, etc? Or do I simply put the string with the "^' separator under the "v_categories_names_1" column and let EP4 do the rest?
Do I need to assign v_categories_id?

Sorry, for being so thick, but I don;t quite understand from your instructions.

"Categories are handled differently from other versions of EP. You can now import multilingual categories (Like Products Names, descriptions, etc.).
To achieve this, each v_categories_names_1, v_categories_names_2, etc. correspond to a language installed in your system, and individual category
names are separated by the Carat "^" symbol. For Example: Bar Supplies^Glass Washers^Brushes"

Different Top categories have different depths of sub-categories.

Thanks

Hi Gordo.

The CategroyMeta-EP file is not used to create new categories, but to allow you to edit and upload your meta tags for existing categories. I'll have to check, but I thought my documentation was clean on this.

You don't have to create your categories in advance. When you add a new product, you simply define the path that you want it to be in, and EP4 will create that category structure on import.
