Comment (by joedolson):

 I think I'd rather change the translatable string that depend on
 manipulating the outcome of a translation. The `role="button"` patch would
 break with a simple error in the translated string that modified `a
 href="#"`. While that's improbable, I think that the string change would
 be better.
