In-Language translation for ARIA?

for

From: Judith.A.Blankman

We are in the process of translating content to Spanish, which should of course include alt text and hidden text.

I was wondering if there is any advice regarding translating ARIA, such as <role="navigation"> or the word "selected" to designate a state.

I realize that any content that is included in an aria-describedby attribute would be translated. Just wondering if ARIA roles or attributes should be translated.


Thanks,
