      Issue Summary

      The headings such as "Team", "Start date", "Sprint", and "Story point estimate" are displayed in English instead of Spanish.

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Open the Jira Cloud homepage.
      2. Set the interface language to Spanish by selecting or translating accordingly.
      3. Select any project from side navigation and open an issue.
      4. Navigate to the "Team", "Start date", "Sprint", and "Story point estimate" Headings within the issue details
      5. Inspect the HTML language attributes in the browser’s developer tools.
      6. Observe that the root <html> element is set to lang="es" (Spanish), but the language of these headings are displayed in English.

      Actual Results

      When the primary content on the Jira homepage is configured to Spanish, certain sections of the page continue to appear in English. The root <html> element is correctly set to lang="es", indicating that the default language of the page is Spanish. However, the headings "Team," "Start date," "Sprint," and "Story point estimate" within the issue details are presented in English.

      As a result, sssistive technologies may mispronounce or misinterpret this content because it uses the Spanish language profile, making it difficult or impossible for users to understand.

      Expected Results

      All user interface text and content must match the selected UI language, and any secondary language must be explicitly identified for assistive technologies.

      In this case, when the primary language is configured or translated to Spanish, content within the issue view, and all other page sections must be presented in Spanish.

      Workaround

      Currently there is no known workaround for this behavior. A workaround will be added here when available.
