Hi Rodrigo,

When you don't want/have to translate an image, don't copy it to your
figures directory. Build systems are clever enough to pick the figure
from the C directory when it is not available ni your locale figure dir.
Otherwise, that means space is wasted with duplicated content.

In the po file, you could either:
1. Let the msgstr empty, telling that the figure need translation but
you don't have any translated figure yet.
2. Put anything you want (even a simple space) in the msgstr, telling
that the figure does not need translation.

In both cases, the original C figure will be used, but the meaning for
you as a translator is different.

Hope it helps.
