Translating a SVG often does not require just translating the text itself, but also adapting its layout. Frequently, the labels have to be moved slightly.
Hey Philippe. The current prototype (when it is finished) will allow for x/y-nudging, changing fonts and changing font-sizing (all of which you quite rightly mention).
But the most problematic cases ocur when the color maps are badly chosen : small font sizes are hard to read when they are not contrasting enough. All labels should be only white or black. But the widest gammut of distinctive background is possible only with lighter backgrounds, so that most labels should be only black.
I hadn't considered allowing the "translator" to recolour a label, but it's definitely something I'll look into.
Thanks, Harry
