I think 'Image' in [3] is a typo, which should be image, and 'base'
in [2] is also a typo, which it should be 'Base'.
It's not exactly a typo -- it's more that we've been a bit inconsistent
here.
Second, should the term be translated or not?
"Fedora Cloud" shouldn't, but "base image" should. In fact, if it
helps, it might be appropriate to put the translated word cloud into
"base image" — that is, "Fedora Cloud [foundational cloud system
image]".
I'm far from an expert here, but "image" should use the word used for
virtual machine images, if that's different from photographs. (In
English, it's "image" in the sense of "exact reproduction /
likeness"
rather than "picture".)
