Siffra

Non-PRO Swedish to English Tech/Engineering Computers: Software Terminologi
Jag ska översätta en bildtext tillhörande en bild/skärmdump med inlagda siffror som markerar olika delar av bilden, så här:

"Se bild nedan, siffra 1".

Bör jag översätta "siffra" med "number", "figure" eller något annat?
Proposed translations (English)
5 item
4 +1 number
4 -1 Figure

Thanks everyone for your input! I'm gonna go with "Illustration" and "item", e.g. "See illustration, item 2".
Peter Linton (X) Jun 17, 2011:
Snapshot I would probably call it a snapshot or screen snapshot or illustration
Profdoc (asker) Jun 17, 2011:
Follow-up issue OK, here's a follow-up question: when referring to a screen dump, should I call it "Image" or "Figure" or something else?

Google "see figure 1, item" for confirmation.

Figure

Yes it is sometimes numeral or digit (as in´seven digit number`) but here figure looks about right. You yourself will see more context and choose which is likely to suit.
Peer comment(s):

disagree Sven Petersson : No, in this context it's "bild" that's translated into "figure", not "siffra".

number

I think Sven is right -- the entire picture could be labelled "Fig 1". But on the picture there are some numbers identifying particular aspects in the picture. For example, you might have a map of a town, with individual numbers identifying various hotels.

So in this context I would say "See picture below, number 1".
