we should also do:

  • add another aria label to the drop down item: "Sprachauswahl öffnen/ open language selection" (new entry in fundraising-frontend-content)
  • add aria-haspopup=true to the item

(- research whether there is something like an aria indicator for screenreaders that tells the user that this is the language switcher/selector on the page)
