Broken: I suspect Google news is using a font that treats certain strings, like "star_border", as an icon. If this text is then slightly altered of completely translated, it is no longer a symbol in that font and the text is rendered as is.

Possible solution: Tell Google to stop using such dirty hacks on the web.

Maybe we should treat aria-hidden="true" as a translate=no type of attribute?

If it is not important enough for screen readers, is it important enough to translate?

Seems to no longer be an issue (German homepage translated to English)
