Ron,

Unfortunately, the "To" list in the Import feature is not based on the languages
that exist in the current DB. I forget why. The "To" list is made up of the
"standard" TMG languages. In order to import into a non-standard language, you
have to edit the TMG Utility INI file. See the LanguageChoices section. Just add
entries to the end.

Alternatively, you can import them into one of the standard (but unused)
languages and then use the Rename Language feature to rename those entries to
whatever you want. If you are going to be using Myfrench and Myenglish a lot,
it's probably a good idea to edit the ini file.
