<p>
When the user agent is presenting the document in a machine-translated rendering (for example, via a built-in "Translate this page" feature), the user agent MUST apply the same
translation to <var>announcement</var> before performing any of the platform-specific steps below, so that the announcement is conveyed to assistive technologies in the language
presented to the user rather than in the language of the original content.
</p>
<p class="note">
The user agent should not trigger the platform accessibility notification until the translation step has completed; otherwise assistive technologies may present the original and
translated strings in sequence. The same translation step is expected to apply to <a href="https://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria-1.2/#aria-live">live region</a> announcements before their
corresponding platform notifications are triggered.
