International website - Image names

[dMaLasp]

Hello All!

In an international website, it is recommended to have a copy of every image for every language in the website (with translate filenames)? or it is better to use only one copy of each image and change only the alt attributes?

Thanks for the help.

Alt tags are more important for SEO as far as I know. I think titles do help, but it can get complicated really fast if you want to have unique filenames for several languages. I'd go with the unique alt tag solution.

A strong site structure, some decent backlinks and a strong, optimized site are going to have much more of an impact on rankings anyway.

Then again, if you have just a couple of images and are really concerned about everything being perfect to the last detail, you could use different image filenames.
