    If you select Use relative path along with file name to match documents to update, you must specify the base path of the imported file in a later step.
  8. Optional: In the Default language list, choose the language you want set for the file. If you want to overwrite the language attribute set in the imported file with the selected language, select the Override unknown languages with default checkbox as well.
