maro-21 created an issue (openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website#6195)

I'm trying to translate messages on Translatewiki and there are such strings:
* `Diary Entry`
* `Comments`
* `Date`

but I don't see what are they used for. I found that they are probably used on users profiles who have diary entries, for example: https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/SomeoneElse/
In the source of this page I can see
* `aria-label="Diary Entry"`
* `aria-label="Comments"`
* `aria-label="Date"`

But I can see them only in the source, not on the page. Is it some kind of alt text for the icons? After copying whole text, icons are not replaced by this text and it's neither a hover text.
