Missing translation for ALT (Button → media upload) #32703

Pitch

I'm missing the string "ALT" (→ https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/blob/main/app/javascript/mastodon/features/compose/components/upload.tsx#L124) to translate at Crowdin. That string appears since v4.3, when you upload a media file, which has no image description yet.

Motivation

"ALT" is confusing in other languages and not always clear. For example "alt" means "old" in German and in Germany "ALT" (and even its function") is not quite known. So we need definitely a translation. Thx!

It looks like “ALT” was already present and untranslatable in 4.2, but I agree that it should probably be made translatable.
