Or don't put text in your images. ;-)

We don't include text in our images for translation purposes.

>I have been searching the web for a few days and can’t seem to find any information on this particular aspect of single-sourcing using the new TCS3. Does it not matter, i.e., does one just set up Robohelp templates to convert .tifs to .jpgs or similar?

If, as you say,  your content contains screenshots or other graphics that contain text, I would not choose JPG as the output format. It tends to put artifacts around the text, making it less legible. Use GIF or PNG instead. Use JPG for photographs.
