[VisualEditor/VisualEditor@master] Add missing ARIA labels to dimension fields in VE maps dialog

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/791592

• size field - use field label (Size)

@ECohen_WMDE I think using the direct description of the contents for each field is more precise. So instead of using size for both I would use width and height.

• … button - label: Select language (Can you use the pop up's header? So if that ever changes, the ARIA label would auto update?)

Good idea. Should not be a problem.

Good point. Sounds good!

@ECohen_WMDE There has been some back-and-forth in Gerrit, so I want to double-check with you that we're adding an aria-label here and not a title?

If I get it right from the discussion on the patch, the main issue with using a title attribute is, that it's not working for touch and keyboard users. So the risk is to assume the situation got better with just adding title attribute, but in reality it's still bad for certain user groups.

There's kind of a second discussion in there that's about title not working well for screen reader users. But from my experiments that's not true. At least not when applied to form fields. We can still add aria-label and title. When the content is identical it won't be read twice (from my experiments).

For me it comes down to the question if we 'just' want to implement better support for screen readers or if we also want to make the situation slightly better for mouse users (while being aware that there's still room for improvements).

Okay after or little talk in the daily this morning, I realized, that this task originally was never about make it better for non screenreader users and the screencasts were not part of the requirements :-D.

We still could easily do both with the suggested implementation, but if we want to keep it simple and avoid more hassle, maybe we should just add aria-label.

I would keep it simple for now then and add the aria-label. Is this stalled because it was waiting for my review or is it something else?

No all good. Waiting on review from WMF folks. We do not have merge rights there. The current implementation just adds the aria-label. So it should be uncontroversial.

Sorry for the late response, I didn't realize you were waiting for me.

All good, the urgency was not that high anyways. Thanks for the finishing move though!
