Cannot export the framemaker graphic element

Question

Hi you,
I need some help for exporting graphics on translation to XML. In general FM exports a changed graphic into a new *.cgm file. This works. Now I'd like to change the format to eps and wrote the read/write rules:
     element "Grafik" { is fm graphic element;
                               writer anchored frame export to file "$(entity).eps" as "EPSI";}
When I save the FM document to XML, the message occurs: cannot export the FrameMaker graphic element () into the specified graphic format.
The XML will be created an also the entity for the graphic, but not the needed graphic file. What is wrong?
Thanks,

Hi Maike,
the EPS is referenced in FM. In unstructured documents sometimes we added a text frame to the anchored frame, because it was easier for translation and we need only one graphic instead a graphic for each language. Now we want change to structured working in FM to give only one XML to the translator. The text frame then will cause a new graphic, but we still want translate the text inside the graphic. That is why we need EPS or something like this.
Do you have a better idea for the problem? We discussed the problem and think about leaving the text frame away and using a graphic for each language.
