Thank you, that fixed the image issue, but it created another problem:
when browsing a foreign language, if I click on any page which is not a product or a category, the language reverts back to English automatically. For example what should be http://www.site.com/conditions.php/fr,'>http://www.site.com/conditions.php/fr, loses the /fr and becomes http://www.site.com/conditions.php thus loading the default language which is English.
