What is Web accessibility?
Submitted by Dzul on Thu, 04/23/2009 - 10:16
Web accessibility refers to the practice of making websites usable by people of all abilities and disabilities. When sites are correctly designed, developed and edited, all users can have equal access to information and functionality. For example, when a site is coded with semantically meaningful HTML, with textual equivalents provided for images and with links named meaningfully, this helps blind users using text-to-speech software and/or text-to-Braille hardware.
Language flags vs universal language icon
Submitted by Ken on Mon, 09/21/2009 - 12:54
Many major websites these days use country flags to indicate which other languages the content is available in. For example, the English language is usually represented by the Union Flag or the Dutch language by a flag of the Netherlands. The problem with this approach is that location and language are not really that related. Many countries have multiple languages, such as Belgium which has 3 national languages (Dutch, French and German) or India which has no less than 22.
