Reply To: picture as a definition of foreign vocabulary word
This is VERY tricky. I will make the following suggestions. First, I would NOT move the picture. We just don't move things unless absolutely necessary and that's not the case here, in my judgment. For the first page, you can put the picture description above the paragraph is refers to. The reader will read the brief picture description and read and on, see the paragraph and get the idea.
Be VERY careful about translating those picture captions. VERY. In fact, don't use translation unless you say simply that the labels point to the coat, the label points to the armchair. For the picture of the mirror, just give the caption and say it's a picture of a boy looking in a mirror. You are NOT translating. You are DESCRIBING.
Hope that helps.
