[i18n-activity] Purpose of Purpose of Controls

r12a has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/i18n-activity:

== Purpose of Purpose of Controls ==
Success Criterion 1.3.4 Purpose of Controls§ 
https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG21/#purpose-of-controls

> In content implemented using markup languages, the conventional name of conventional form fields, conventional buttons or controls, or conventional links can be programmatically determined.

It's not clear to me what are the implications of this SC. Following the links leads to lists such as https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG21/#dfn-conventional-links. Are those terms in bold meant to be literal strings in the UI/markup?  (If so, there's a big i18n issue.)  How are they supposed to be detected/used?  An example would help.
