Yes, the translated SVG files will be created at build time. You can
actually build the getting-started tarball yourself to see the translated
SVGs.

Just change to your local gnome-getting-started-docs directory and run:

./autogen.sh && make

Then change to the gnome-help/de/ subdirectory to check the SVGs translated
into your language.

Yes, you can get the translated SVGs by building the tarball, see above.
Simply run "yelp ." in gnome-help/de/ to display the translated Mallard
document with included SVGs.
