Public bug reported:

The prompt when the camera wants to access the hardware to record audio
is currently "wants to record audio". This is not really accurate since
an app can request access to the microphone without actually recording
anything. furthermore the direct translation to French as an example is
not really meaningful.

Something like "wants to access the microphone." would be more accurate
since it's actually what the application tries to do.
