Why do so many of the existing UIElements have AXRoleDescription attributes
that simply parrot the AXRole string? I thought the description attribute
was meant for speaking or inclusion in human-readable text. My users will be
confused if they are told to "move the AXValueIndicator of the AXScrollBar."

If a role description comes out as AX???? it's a bug - it means a lookup failed
which results in the role is being returned. Jaguar shipped with this being very
common. It's being worked on.

Will this be fixed? And will the strings be internationalized? Or do we have
to code our own translation tables?

Yes, they're intended to be internationalized.
