--- Comment #4 from V Stuart Foote <vsfoote at libreoffice.org> ---
I would agree with Gabor, in standard technical English it should be
"Accessible Description..."--but in reality the "alt text..." is well known
from W3C "alt attribute" and "longdesc attribute"  alternative text practices
and would be equally acceptable.

Also I'm sure the "alt text" label/menu entry would be an easier string for
l18n to handle as its concept is ubiquitous, it certainly would be more concise
for use on a menu (main or context).

Also, consider that .uno:ObjectTitleDescription (also found as "Description"
for Tools -> Customize dialog use) is already used in many places in addition
to menus.

For example, the same UNO controls are contained on the Properties... dialog
"Options" tab-- "Name", "Text Alternative", and "Description"-- are included
within an 'Accessibility' grouping, along with a checkbox to set them as
"Decorative"

Either leave the menu entry as is with 'Description...' (its not that bad) or
use 'Alt Text...' but avoid the i18n thrash and potential for width issues that
"Accessible Description..." would invoke.  A flat no for "Accessibility
Description..."
