STR:
1. Turn on Screen Reader in Developer Settings.
2. Return to the first Home Screen.
3. Tap on Social so it gets the highlight, then double-tap.
4. Explore the items, either by touching them or by swiping left and right.

Result: Except for the "Social" header, all graphics are unlabeled. The only thing the screen reader says is "Graphic". A blind user has no way of knowing which icon does what.

The graphics need alternative text associated with them, and this text must be localizable.
Assignee: nobody → yosef
Summary: Items in the "Social" folder are unlabeled for accessibility → App icons don't have alt text so screen readers can't read them
Amir, plz add alt="{app name}" to the result icon and result text images.

Doesn't work well for some result types.

1. Download suggestions label should have a "download" prefix
2. Marketplace search label is "undefined"

Screen reader is an off by default feature, so that makes this a non-blocker for the release. Feel free to ask for approval though.
