Have you tried shared-fields? Otherwise you run a script that changes the
languages after changing the language.

It's near ready but not quite, I will release this weekend an API to 
change
GUI languages with built-in extensible translation table to handle an any 
number of languages (yes, including klingon!). Look for a discrete release
of my browser tonite or tomorow... The API includes a scanner to find your 

controls and gives you the choice for each control to change the content,
tooltip and label of that control.

create a group, make it's background behavior true. Put hte image in it 
and
THEN create your cards... Doesn't work for cards created earlier...
