Comment (by afercia):

 @azaozz when you have a chance: does this still needs to be addressed
 upstream?

 In languages other than English, the mismatch between the translated
 tooltip and the not-translated aria-label is a serious accessibility
 issue. The buttons accessible name is given by the aria-label.

 For example, speech input users who set the user language to something
 other than English will try to voice a command in that language, according
 to what the tooltip displays. However, the real controls name is in
 English. In Italian, for example, users would try to voice a command like
 "Clicca grassetto": this wouldn't do anything because the button name is
 still "Bold".
