Translate the announcement-dismiss-label language key #15289
Description
Description
The dismiss control of a website announcement from #15253 uses a new language key, announcement-dismiss-label.
It gives the close button of a dismissable announcement its accessible name, so screen readers announce it.
The button only shows an "X" icon, so this label is the only text a screen reader user gets.
Related: #15235
Most translations were added in #15290.
Danish (da), Greek (el) and Norwegian Bokmål (nb) still fall back to English because reviewers did not agree on the wording.
See the comment below for suggested translations.
The English value is:
announcement-dismiss-label: "Dismiss announcement""Dismiss" here means close or hide the announcement bar, not reject, decline or delete it.
A short imperative that matches the wording your language already uses for closing a banner or a dialog is what we are after.
Regional files (de-CH, fr-CA, pt-BR) fall back to their parent language and do not need a separate entry unless the wording should differ.

de-CH,fr-CAandpt-BRfollow their base language.Three languages stay in English because the reviewers did not agree on the wording. Native speakers, please pick one or suggest a better value:
da: "Luk meddelelse" or "Luk meddelelsen". One reviewer finds the indefinite form unnatural for this one specific banner.el: "Κλείστε την ανακοίνωση", "Κλείσε την ανακοίνωση" or "Κλείσιμο ανακοίνωσης". One reviewer finds the first one a plural or formal imperative, the other prefers a noun like the file's other labels (Καθαρισμός, Ακύρωση).nb: "Lukk meldingen" or "Lukk kunngjøringen". One reviewer says "meldingen" reads as a message, not an announcement.nntook "Lukk kunngjeringa" with the same noun."Dismiss" in the English value means close or hide the banner, not reject or delete it, so a value with the reject sense is the one to avoid.

Thanks for your interest! We are now looking for native speakers of Danish, Greek or Norwegian Bokmål to help with the remaining translations. If you speak one of these languages, your input on the suggestions above would be welcome.
