Patterns for translations (accessible-name) of a repeating widget in a ListBox



Hi everyone,

in Calls[1] we have a listbox for the call history with a call button
which (when pressed) calls the party of the particular row in the
listbox.

Now the question has come up recently [2] about how to make it obvious
that the call button belongs to the the current list box row.

The button in question has an accessible name of "Call the party"
currently and one idea was to put some context into the string f.e.
"Call %s" (-> "Call Evangelos"), but that would not work in every
language.

So I have two questions:

1. Would a "Call the party" or simply "Call" be clear enough that it's
about the current row in the list box? (Accessibility wise)
2. If not, how could it be made clearer that a button belongs to it's
list row. Are there already patterns for situations like this?
