How to name images for billingual website ?
-
I have a website where images are based on a different domain. And i am calling only one single image for english and french version. I m wondering if it s valuable to use both languages in naming the images like Apple-Pomme.jpg or if there might be any drawbacks.Thanks !

Hi Ennick,
From the perspective of the SE's I doubt there is any effect, positive or negative. However, as a user, I always prefer that Alt-text be in the correct language. And since you are calling the images to both versions of the site from one place, what you suggest looks like an elegant solution to me.

Nope I would do exactly what you're thinking. The engines won't care about this. For example, if you wanted to name the file apple-apple.jpg I'm sure there would be no repercussions. So yeah, go for it!
