Depending on its capabilities, each Translator offers different settings. At least you'll get an Info... button that opens a window with the credits and the installation path.
The following table gives an overview of the default Translators and their most useful options.

BMP images24bit, uncompressed, no transparency
EXR imagesILM's high dynamic-range (HDR) format
GIF images8bit, lossless compression, transparency
You can reduce the filesize by limiting the number of used colors and the palette.
You can write images with transparency, either by automatically using the alpha channel or by setting the RGB value that will be transparent by hand.

JPEG2000 images24bit, compressed, no transparency
Here, you normally only care about the output quality.

Screenshots, charts, black&white drawings and other images with few used colors, as well as small pictures are best saved as GIF (up to 256 colors) or PNG (millions of colors). JPEG, for example, introduces compression artefacts without gain in smaller filesize.
