Why are image captions not translated when the rest of an article is translated?

Within the regular article context, images and their captions are displayed as Flash elements, and Google Translate applies only to non-Flash elements. However, there are two ways for users to see translated versions of the image captions. (a) When a user clicks on the Printer Friendly options that include images, a print preview window is loaded in which the captions are translated along with the article text. The user can then read the translated captions without actually printing the article. (b) When a user saves images to My Folder and then clicks on the thumbnail within the My Saved Images section of the folder, a non-Flash version of the image will be loaded on a page where the caption can be translated.
