Sound synthesizer: Whatever the translator translated it to?

e.g. from https://l10n.gnome.org/POT/orca.master/orca.master.pot :
#. Translators: this is the spoken word for the character '←' (U+2190)

(specifically https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/79472/24/Cite.i18n.php )
wherein Hooman/Bartosz/et al, followed Graham87's suggestion
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=38141#c4
and made all of these characters simply say "Jump up" or "Jump up to:" in screenreaders. (Previously, the English wikipedia override of ^ (caret) was being spoken as "carrot"...)
