## Description

**As a** screen-reader user

**I want** every widget with visuals on the project overview and dashboard to have an accessible description

**so that** I can understand the purpose and content of each widget without relying on its visual presentation.  
  

**Acceptance criteria**

*   Charts and other complex graphics have an accessible description or equivalent textual data
    
*   Accessible descriptions are translatable.
    

**Technical notes**

*   Associate the widget container with its visible heading using `aria-labelledby`.
    
*   Use `aria-describedby` where an additional description is needed.
