This is a tricky one. I think that it would be OK to use images, but
sparingly.

Because of the translation issue, it might be best not to allow the text
of the document to depend on the image being there if possible. That
way, locales without an image wouldn't be affected or could just use the
image for the C locale.

Thanks,

Phil
