Yes, does seem related to #28328 where the value needs to be english for the code to work (see https://reactnative.dev/docs/view#accessibilityrole), but then that value surfaces in a non translated way. Is this supposed to be handled by the native platform or RN? In the other issue (which went stale) there was some back and forth proposal for how to deal with this. Seems that may need to be resuscitated and perhaps moved to the discussions repo as things can often get lost on issues.
Looks like #28328 had a proposal but went stale. @TheSavior Should we encourage that discussion to happen elsewhere (didn't seem to gather attention on the issue)? Agreed with your statement that we should lean into what the native platform does. For example, the equivalent accessibility roles for Windows are here and it's expected without action from the app that those are localized for any screen readers. The cost is handled by language packages that user opts into at an OS level.
Hey there, it looks like there has been no activity on this issue recently. Has the issue been fixed, or does it still require the community's attention? This issue may be closed if no further activity occurs. You may also label this issue as a "Discussion" or add it to the "Backlog" and I will leave it open. Thank you for your contributions.
We are developing an application where accessibility is important. This is occurring for us as well only on Android, and we would like to see it fixed.
I've been answering that question on stackoverflow for somebody: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/65560614/react-native-talkback-reads-component-accessibilityrole-in-wrong-language/65834129#65834129
Hi! Have you noticed another issue related with the accessibilityRole set with the header
value?
I'm not able to read it on Android. I have Samsung S10e.
@nico22utn is it not reading it at all or just reading it in the wrong language. Is it reading other labels everywhere else?

Sorry for the bad explanation. It is not reading the header
roles for Android. And I just wanna talk with you about that because I noticed that the accessibility was important for your app. Perhaps, you had noticed something like that.
I'm testing with a S10e / Android 10. It only happens on Android.
@nico22utn which version of react native are you on?
I see the header support for accessibility role was added with this commit https://github.com/facebook/react-native/pull/22447

I see the header support for accessibility role was added with this commit #22447 Before upgrading the version of RN, all the stuff related with accessibility worked well. Now, I have this version: "react-native": "0.63.4"

Description
When a component is give an accessibilityRole, e.g. 'button' it is read in English for talkback.
e.g. "Back (other language)" + "Button (English) + "Double tap to activate (other language)".
Note the "Back" string is from translated accessibilityLabel
I notice there was another post similar to this for iOS? https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/28328 Is there a way to pass a translation or something for this?

Steps To Reproduce
Provide a detailed list of steps that reproduce the issue.
Expected Results
The accessibilityRole should be translated. The default talkback for pressable items "double tap to activate" is translated, I assume by Android?
