Use the Assets tool to add files to multilingual
attachments, which make language-specific attachments available based
on a customer's default browsing language.
For example,
if your site supports multiple languages, you might have a separate
user manual file in each store for each language that is supported
for a product. You can use the Assets tool to organize these user
manual files by adding them to a multilingual attachment. You can
then use the Catalogs tool to associate this multilingual attachment
with a product. When customers log on to the store in a specific language
and view this product, the user manual is displayed to them in the
specified language.
