Subject: [PATCH] a11y: drop redundant hardcoded aria-label
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Etherpad's html10n auto-populates `aria-label` from the localized
string when an element has `data-l10n-id` and no author-supplied
`aria-label`. Hardcoded English values block that and leave screen
readers with the English label regardless of language.

Removes redundant `aria-label="…"` (and the no-op
`data-l10n-attr="aria-label"` convention which etherpad's html10n
does not support) from elements that already have `data-l10n-id`.

See etherpad-lite/src/static/js/vendors/html10n.ts:665-678.
