+To create and add the new buttons for a new classifier, there are several macro files that need to be edited. This is an example for the Countries metadata. <i>Countries</i> is the metadata name (or buttonname), <i>count</i> is the short form used in image names, <i>countries</i> is the text that appears on the nav bar buttons and the green title.
+<p>
+These lines should all be put next to the other ones ones of the same type. Use Title as an example to search for the approriate place to insert.

+
+<p>
+The images that are needed are the nav bar images, and the title image with the green bar in the background. There are 3 nav bar images: <i>tcountgr.gif</i> is the green one and <i>tcounton.gif</i> and  <i>tcountof.gif</i> are the two yellow ones for the rollover effect.
+<i>h_count.gif</i> is the title image.
+
+<p>These images can be generated by copying the two ## blocks from above into a temp file and running translate.pl on it eg.
+
+<br>translate.pl -language_symbol en temp.dm
+
+<p>To add the images in other languages, you need to edit the appropriate language macro file, and add the same items as for english.dm. And run the translate script to generate the images.
