[Translators-l] SVG translation: qqq useful?

[Siebrand Mazeland]

I thinking it may be important to have, and increase translation quality. Graphics and illustrations often contain abbreviations and such. It may be a Good Thing (tm) if those things can be annotated. The same goes for jargon, colloquialisms, and the likes.
