Lit. (s)he has eaten much salt.
I like it. Seems to be a set phrase referring to old age and/or experience.

Very interesting. Not something you would know though when you are trying to translate this sentence

No, but this skill deals in figures of speech, and idioms aren't necessarily obvious from their component parts (kick the bucket, for example). It probably should have come with some accompanying tips & notes, but sadly there aren't any.
