Accessibility: dnd-kit drag instructions and announcements are English-only and expose internal IDs #18635

Payload version: 3.90.2 (Next.js 16.3.3, @payloadcms/db-postgres, admin language German)

In blocks and array fields, the keyboard drag instructions ("To pick up a draggable item, press the space bar…") and the live announcements ("Draggable item 6ac65a… was moved over droppable area…") are hard-coded English and use internal row IDs (WCAG 3.1.2, 4.1.3).

Steps to reproduce: set the admin language to German, focus a row's drag handle, press Space and an arrow key with a screen reader running.

Expected: pass translated accessibility.screenReaderInstructions and accessibility.announcements to DndContext, naming rows by their number/label (e.g. "Block 2 (Notice) moved to position 1").

We can only translate the static instructions via DOM patching; the announcements cannot be worked around.

How we found it: axe-core (tags wcag2a, wcag2aa, wcag21a, wcag21aa, wcag22aa) via @axe-core/playwright plus keyboard-only tests of the admin. Our current workaround is a client provider (admin.components.providers) that patches the missing attributes into the DOM.

Happy to help with a PR if the direction is agreed.
