 In case you are unsure of a translation, or want to save a partial translation and finish it later, check the "'''Fuzzy'''" box before clicking "Send Translation".[[BR]]
 This "fuzzy" flag indicates that a translation for a particular block may be imprecise or unfinished, and needs review. When a part of the original English document changes, translations associated to this part are automatically marked as fuzzy, so the translators can easily spot what needs to be updated.

+== Localizing images ==
+
+Images of the GUI which contain strings that are translatable and change when you switch to another language with the Locale preferences, can be "translated" by uploading a localized version. Simply click on it and a window pops open to choose the image to transfer to the online tool.
+
+NOTE: Due to a shortcoming of our online tool, images that appear in certain HTML structures, e.g. in <ul> or <ol> lists or in a cell in a table, cannot be exchanged this easily. They have to be uploaded in the admin section of the online tool manually. Please upload these images somewhere (e.g. at [http://postimage.org/ postimage.org] and post the links to the haiku-i18n mailing list. 
+
+When submitting a screenshot, you should make sure that the gist of what it is used to explain is still there in your localized version. You should also make sure to
+- keep the same image format (mostly PNG)
+- crop precisely, including the grey border that runs around a window
+- all background pixels are transparent (Haiku's Screenshot already does that for the area beside the yellow tab, but you may have to edit/compose in WonderBrush. Tip: In WonderBrush, use the ''Fill'' or ''Rectangle'' tool and set in its ''Properties'' the ''Mode'' to ''Erase''.)
