If I understand correctly, the pot files (which are what the  
translators use) are generated by scripty based on tags expected to  
include text.  Am I correct that in this example, the issue is on lines  
151-154?  The rest of lines 141 to 163 look like plain text to me,  
unless I'm missing something.

If this is the case, is there any chance of modifying scripty (or  
whatever tool does this) to know to exclude image objects such as  
<screenshot> and <inlineimageobject> ?  (I know even if this is  
possible, it will not happen quickly.)

If there were a true <inlineimageobject> such as a glyph not available  
in the current font or encoding, would you not have the same problem?   
In that case, I don't see any reasonable way to move the image out of  
the <para>.    I know my case is different, and again, I'm open to  
suggestions.  I'll continue to look at the docbook docs - perhaps there  
is another tag I can use around the <inlinemediaobject> that is allowed  
directly within <sect3>.
