Make the new w.org login checkbox translatable

[audrasjb]

The new "WP Engine affiliation" checkbox is not translatable, which leads to an accessibility issue for people not using the EN_us locale.

I didn't found it on WordPress.org Github repository so couldn't make a PR for this.

Note for everyone: please do not use this ticket for further discussion about this checkbox. This ticket is only about making it translatable.

Removed reference to a commit from me, that while related, is not the checkbox.

Purely out of curiosity, as I can't find the actual change anywhere, but the do_action calls that were added suggest how the change could have gotten in.

Did someone just hack the change into a functions file directly instead of committing it?

The WordPress.org codebase is a combination of private and public repositories, not everything is open-source. The checkbox, and enforcement of it, is added via a private plugin, there's no 'hacking' of the deployed code or replacement/alteration of the core WP files.

The hooks added were left out of the public theme that I had built (which uses the same design, and html structure as wp-login.php), and match it up with the actions that were already firing when you visited /wp-login.php directly.

Appreciate the explanation, makes sense. Thanks.

Yes, it would be fantastic if we could translate it into other languages!

Hello, is it possible to get this fixed somehow?
Translation issues are also accessibility and inclusivity issues.
Since that change is at the first place not super great for the WordPress community, it would be nice to at least conform ourselves to our very own WCAG compliance commitments. Thanks!
