Multilingual Web Accessibility
This session will cover two challenging topics together: multilingual websites and accessibility/Section 508 compliance. Many organizations may need to successfully fulfill both requirements on their websites. The subtleties of how both functionalities are implemented, tested, and deployed are a critical factor for a successful and accessible web project.
We’ll cover the basics of how supporting websites in multiple languages affect assistive technology and find out if the Google Translate widget will be enough to meet multiple levels of compliance.
Some knowledge of the basics of accessible web sites will help understand the session but are not required to get value out of the discussion.
