Adding a stylesheet to a language pack?

Sorry if someone has covered this, but I did a seach and cannot find the answer.

I have a background image with text in it in the main wrapper. You can see the design here:

http//:www.jim-hill.com/catalog/index.php

Unfortunately, the French Language selection keeps the same image (of course). Can I put a stylesheet into the French section to select a different image? If so, how should I set it up.

All suggestions gratefully accepted. Thanks.

i did the following:

back up first

1. i opened /includes/functions/html-output
2. search for the function "function zen_image_button"
3. after this function (after the closing tag } ) i made a new function with a new name:

//// added by Brainiack
/// outputs an image from includes - templates - MY_TEMPLATE - images - language
// Output a function button in the selected language

  function brainiack_image_button($image, $alt = '', $parameters = '') {
    global $template, $current_page_base;
    return zen_image($template->get_template_dir($image, DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, 'images/' . $_SESSION['language'] . '/') . $image, $alt, '', '', $parameters);
//    return zen_image($template->get_template_dir($image, DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base, 'images/' . $_SESSION['language'] . '/') . $image, $alt, '', '', $parameters);
  }

now on every page where i want i change the call to the standard image function (zen_image_button) from zencart to brainiack_image_button. For example in document_product_info.php or other files.

4. now you need to create a subfolder under /includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/images/ with the name of the language. In my case i have dutch added as "nederlands", so i have a subfolder nederlands .

5. To get things going smoothly and not messing up al kind of image names in differentfolders i made a new file brainiack_image_names.php in every folder of /includes/languages/YOUR_LANGUAGE. This might come in handy when you want to have filenames in french and filenames in english. just add lines of defines like:

define('MORE_INFO', 'button_info.jpg');
define('MORE_INFO_ALT', 'Meer informatie aanvragen');

6. to make point 5 work you have to add an additional line in filenames.php in includes/ like define('FILENAME_BRAINIACK_IMAGES_NAMES','brainiack_images_names.php');

7. you also have to alter /includes/languages/YOUR_LANGUAGE.PHP. Add the following code just at the end of the document before the closing ?> tag

//  include template specific brainiack image name defines
  if (file_exists(DIR_WS_LANGUAGES . $_SESSION['language'] . '/' . $template_dir . '/' . FILENAME_BRAINIACK_IMAGES_NAMES)) {
    $template_dir_select = $template_dir . '/';
  } else {
    $template_dir_select = '';
  }
  require(DIR_WS_LANGUAGES . $_SESSION['language'] . '/' . $template_dir_select . FILENAME_BRAINIACK_IMAGES_NAMES);

8. example of calling the function:

<?php echo brainiack_image_button(MORE INFO , MORE INFO_ALT); ?>

MORE_INFO_ALT is the text that will be displayed when the image is missing or when you hoover over this image with the mouse.

if you have any questions post them here. If things get messed up, don't blame me.

Thanks, i'll give that a try and let you know how I get on.

Cheers.

cheers!
