Unable to translate custom attributes in admin backend

[cmuench]

Preconditions

A custom attribute is created.
We have different frontend labels for the attribute. Store views with different locale settings exist.
Admin users are speaking different languages and need a localized attribute label.

Steps to reproduce

Create an custom attribute with different frontend labels.

Expected result

There are two possible results:

1. A user can see the specific frontend label of the selected store-view. This could be a problem e.g. the user speaks french and the assigned locale of the store view is in another language.

2. The default frontend label can be translated e.g. with the Magento translation functions. This needs a i18n language file or that we can use the inline translation in admin backend.

Actual result

The default frontend label is used.
Have a look into this method:
\Magento\Catalog\Ui\DataProvider\Product\Form\Modifier\Eav::setupAttributeMeta.

$meta = $this->arrayManager->set($configPath, [], [
            'dataType' => $attribute->getFrontendInput(),
            'formElement' => $this->getFormElementsMapValue($attribute->getFrontendInput()),
            'visible' => $attribute->getIsVisible(),
            'required' => $attribute->getIsRequired(),
            'notice' => $attribute->getNote(),
            'default' => (!$this->isProductExists()) ? $attribute->getDefaultValue() : null,
            'label' => $attribute->getDefaultFrontendLabel(),  // <-- This is the line
            'code' => $attribute->getAttributeCode(),
            'source' => $groupCode,
            'scopeLabel' => $this->getScopeLabel($attribute),
            'globalScope' => $this->isScopeGlobal($attribute),
            'sortOrder' => $sortOrder * self::SORT_ORDER_MULTIPLIER,
        ]);

At least the translation function should be used:

'label' => __($attribute->getDefaultFrontendLabel()),
