Description

This issue is partially related to https://github.com/react/react-native/issues/43266

On React Native 0.85.3 it seems that polyfilled accessibility roles (e.g. checkbox or radio) and states (e.g. expanded, checked, unchecked) are now correctly assigned to the native components and announced by VoiceOver. However, the announcement is correct only in english as despite being localized strings the assigned values aren't correctly translated to any other language

In one of the comments under that issue it's stated that it does work differently in OSS and internal and hasn't been released externally. Is there any plan for it? This issue severely affects accessibility user experience and is rather difficult to spot since I suppose many developers are testing using VoiceOver with english

Steps to reproduce
  1. Install the provided reproduction application on an iOS device
  2. Ensure your device language is set to english (incl. VoiceOver)
  3. Enable VoiceOver and run the application
  4. Observe how in english custom checkbox component is correctly announced ("one, checkbox, checked")
  5. Switch device and VoiceOver language to something else than english
  6. Enable VoiceOver and run the application
  7. Observe how this time aria-label ("1") is correctly announced in the selected language, but "checkbox" and "checked" is still announced in english

Rechercherichtung

Beginne mit dem obligatorischen Reproducer und dem zugehörigen Issue 43266. Reproduziere anschließend die VoiceOver-Ansage auf Englisch und Polnisch oder in einer anderen nicht englischen Sprache. Als erledigt gilt die Aufgabe, wenn polyfillte Accessibility-Rollen und -Zustände wie „checkbox“ und „checked“ in der ausgewählten Geräte- und VoiceOver-Sprache angesagt werden, anstatt auf Englisch zu bleiben.
