[Sign Language] Alternative Text is missing #170

Closed yatil closed 3 years ago

I think it would be beneficial to describe a good practice button in the alternative text of the button illustration. I was wondering what “Auslan” (text on the button) was referring to and had hoped to gain more insight from the alternative text.

I had not consciously heard “Auslan” as a reference to Australian Sign Language before, and it doesn’t help that the word is so close to the German word “Ausland” – abroad – so the illustration was not really illustrative to me.
