This PR fixes a bug where the locale property of a Text widget was not being correctly passed to the accessibility layer, resulting in screen readers not knowing the language of the text.

### Impact Description:
What is the impact (ex. visual jank on Samsung phones, app crash, cannot ship an iOS app)? Does it impact development (ex. flutter doctor crashes when Android Studio is installed), or the shipping production app (the app crashes on launch)

This bug critically impacted accessibility, causing screen readers to mispronounce text in foreign languages and creating a confusing, inaccessible experience for users with visual impairments. The fix ensures the locale property on the Text widget is no longer ignored, correctly passing the language information to the underlying accessibility services so the text is read intelligibly.

No.
