Problem/Motivation

According to WCAG success criteria 3.1.2 : The intent of this Success Criterion is to ensure that user agents can correctly present content written in multiple languages.
Though this module is awesome and it translates a lot, it doesn't translate it's own content.

Steps to reproduce

Go to /admin/config/regional/gtranslate and enter your language select label, for instance Select your language.
Reload your website and switch to another language. Inspect de dropdown.

<select class="gt_selector notranslate" aria-label="Select your language">
<option value="">Select your language</option>

The labels are still English though the page has lang='nl'

Proposed resolution

Make it possible to translate the label in the user interface translation.
