Re: Cost of Translating Screen Shots

Maybe I'm missing something, but the screen shots are what the user
would see on the software screen.

Either the screens in the software have been translated and you can take
a screen shot of the translated screen or you should leave the screens
in the language that they will be seen in the software.  No?
