Why is this information important for translators and translation teachers?Sometimes translators receive translation projects consisting of documents with graphics which have to be exported (or saved as stand-alone files), edited for the translation with the same software programs used to create them and then imported again in the translation.
It can also happen that translators receive from clients the original files to be translated and separately the corresponding graphics to be inserted in the final translated document.
In both cases, translators should be able to insert graphics and know how to handle these.
