IMPORTANT! Localization of images (links) If the documents contain graphics, diagrams or images that will require localization/translation, we can proceed in two ways: If the image text is present in the InDesign or FrameMaker file (not embedded in the images), it will come out in the IDML/mif file(s) exported for translation. No extra action should be necessary. If the image text is embedded in the native image format, it is essential that the client supplies the image files in their native format (Illustrator (.ai) for example). That way we can extract the text from the native source files into a translatable format such as .docx, .xls, .xml. If the original artwork with editable text is no longer available, and only derivative files (like PNG or JPG) are, the task will be more time-consuming and require more resources. During either preprocessing or post-translation  DTP, the existing image text must first be removed and a new text layer must be created in Illustrator, Photoshop or other software. In any case, if the end client doesn’t supply the images (links), please inform them that we can only deliver low resolution PDFs and not final high resolution print ready versions.
