    I am brailling a book that is completely in Spanish for a Spanish-speaking student. TNs are in contracted English braille. Do I use the English word "Picture" for captions with pictures?

    Thank you.

    Yes, use the English word Picture: even though the caption is in Spanish. Like TN's the word Picture is supplied by the transcriber and anything added by the transriber is in English. In this case, as with ANY textbook transcription, the word Picture is there to tell the reader that the caption is of a picture and not something else, like a map or diagram.
