I noticed we're using a pretty non-standard phrasing for alt text:

A quick Google search confirmed my suspicions that nobody uses this term—the top results are alternatives to a software called Textual, and issues in this repo. 😈

I'd suggest replacing it with the more commonly-used (and Google-friendly for those users who'd like more context) "Alternative (ALT) Text".

Related: we may want to reconsider the "Source Type" label directly below, while we're at it—see #7855.
