Cannot translate meta descriptions added via XML instructions.

[ioweb-gr]

Preconditions (*)

1. 2.4.3-p1
2. A custom controller
3. A custom layout.xml with a meta description content
4. 2 store views

Steps to reproduce (*)

In your layout.xml add a meta description like this

<meta name="description" content="my english content" translate="content" />

In your i18n/el_GR file for example add a translation for the content.

Incidentally I've tried adding the description like this

<meta name="description" content="my english content" translate="true"/>
<meta name="description" content="my english content" />

Neither way seems to work to make it translateable.

However the phrase is properly collected using i18n:collect-phrases

Expected result (*)

1.The content is translated

Actual result (*)

The content is not translated
