We have some more hours/days with the graphics if you use dummy
screenshots with real names. Then you can substitute the images
without interfeering XML formatting and translation work.
We haven't discussed how to handle images. I recommend to use 1-2 big
images in the page + 2-5 medium/small, being all clickable, linking to
the original big/real size images.
Another recommendation to Gervais: forget about L10n of screenshots.
There is no time for that. We can show original images in different
locales where text itself is not relevant (the case of most
screenshots). An even more conservative approach is to show off the
Arabic screenshot we already have (totally on-topic) and that's it,
you only need to explain that GNOME 2.18 is translated in nn
languiages and then people when reading draft their own screenshots in
their minds. ;)
