Steve replied;
not familiar enough with Javascript to comment, but I'm certain you
could do it with JS. (although you would exclude users who didn't have
JS turned enabled).
How you do this depends on how your site is set up. If your site has
separate content in different languages then you can simply put your
alt = within the content using a different tag for each language.
Alternatively, you could use a server side language such as PHP or ASP
to generate the tag depending on the language defined in
HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE.
Come back if this isn't clear!
