[$40][MSFT-106] Challenges page: Datepicker: The buttons to move to the previous and next month are being read as 'move backward to switch to previous month' and 'move forward to switch to the next month'. These labels are confusing.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Go to the Challenges page: https://www.topcoder.com/challenges. 2. Ensure the screen readr is switched on. 3. Activate the filter. 4. Press the tab key till you arrive at the start date field. 5. Press enter to bring up the callendar. 6. Press the tab key so that your focus is on the buttons to change the months. 7. Note the screen reader announces these buttons as 'move backward to switch to the previous month' and 'move forward to switch to the next month'.

Expected Result
These should be simply read as 'previous month' and 'next month' buttons.

Actual Result
Screen reader announces the button to move to the previous and next months as 'move backward to switch to the previous month' and 'move forward to switch to the next month'. The words 'backward' and 'forward' are confusing.

@veshu I doubt it can be achieved as read the official docs of react-dates.
those are hardcoded strings and there is no way given to send custom text to it.

waiting for your feedback?
