howto translate screenshots in docs

[Silvio]

There's a way to edit the screenshots included in documentation to be
translated in the specific language?
For example, how can i edit figures in Resource Management Guide for
Italian translation?
....If there's a way, obviously!

Thanks.

I this is a DocBook/Publican option, there is a RFE against transifex for that.
Please see https://github.com/transifex/transifex/issues/3

I am CCing docs, as they could have more info

What about uploading localized screenshots instead of translating them?
For example, doc writer can put the original English screenshots on the 
wiki or somewhere, translator or other contributor upload their own 
languages screenshots for the documentation.

If there is no localized screenshot available for use, then we might to 
consider translation.

I am not fan of this solution.
Currently, publishing a doc is a hand made process:
- checkout the right guide, the right branch
- pull translations
- build the doc in the language
- publish the built doc
- commit & push.

Here you want to add a new step, "downloading and replacing
screenshots", that would be really time consuming.
(We want to automate the publish process, I don't know where we are here).

In docs they avoid a maximum to use screenshots, mainly because of
this lack of translation feature.
Implementing this through transifex would be really great.
