On some sites, radio buttons and similar are not actual text, not words spelled out with letters, but a pictorial image of the words. A translation program can only read and translate what it finds as actual text made of individual letters.
Now to go that extra step, the software has to be able to figure out which pictures are actually words, then the picture of the word on the radio button would have to be read by something like OCR (optical character recognition) to turn it into text, and then translated. It's certainly possible, so the day may yet come. (Translation programs have been in development for several decades, and they are not perfect yet. I think it may be a few years before they deal with buttons) Still, how about it, Google ? Put it on your list of future improvements ?
