> 2. Specific, immediate concern: Callouts in figures. My client still has callouts (in Framemaker text boxes, if it matters) in the figure itself. What is the preferred format of callouts for translation? Put only numbers and arrows in the figure, and then have the key separate, in the main body text? Or have the key in a separate text frame, but within the anchored frame (that would be for Framemaker)?

Only numbers. No lines. Number reference table below the image with
the captions.
