Using the lang attribute doesn't mean that it will only be read to speakers of that language: it just switches the voice of the screen reader to use the correct pronunciation. In the example you give, an English SR user would hear “cerra” in a Spanish voice then “close” in English; a Spanish SR user would hear “cerra close” both in the Spanish voice (if lang="es" is, correctly, used at the page level rather than per element). Not sure where that aria-alt-text is coming from either, but it won't have any effect.
