Is accessibility limited to have correct alt tags, color contrast as per the WCAG, or using semantic tags?

With dates I prefer human readable dates whenever possible.
MM/DD/YYYYand,DD/MM/YYYYalways catch me off guard.Jan 1st 2020or,1st of January, 2020is much easier to read.True very true. Good point. I will add this to the article.
I worked on a project where accessibility was a huge requirement. The client was a.lead sponsor of Para Olympic. I have seen real users testing the site. We as able people assume a lot of things when thinking about a site but anybody would be amazed to see them use web and assisted technology. They are so smart and quick in using these tools and shortcuts. But seeing them use the website first hand gives a lot of insights. No amount of reading can give that experience that actually seeing them use. I find myself lucky in that sense.
100% true. The real accessibility test is when real users use it. There is no repalcement of that. Would love to know more about your experience.
Love the broader interpretation of “accessible” here! I think the development community has a specific, technical definition for accessibility that limits the scope to how software interfaces with assistive technology like voice control and screen readers. That constrained definition makes it easier to know what we’re solving for when we talk about it. These are great tips for doing internationalization (i18n), localization (l13n), and responsive design well!
Nicely explained about the different aspects of accessibility. Also, aptly put graphics justifies the subject, as one hardly needs to read the words, since visually communicating graphics through more "real" objects make it faster and simpler to understand. Kudos 👏👏
Really well done article. I hadn't considered problems with date and time formats.
I don't mean to nitpick, but the alt text on the image in the "Numbers" section is 'Alt Text' :-).
Hey Jim - thank you for pointing this out. I will correct it :)
I only noticed it because I happened to read your post first using a text-only web browser before using a graphical web browser ;).
I'd like to add that, when you don't understand things like this, you get the most baffling development requests, like "can you add a slider so that users can change the size of the user interface text without affecting the input size?" because your translation team didn't bother to tell you that the German labels are much longer...
Nice article.. Learned new things. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Tapas.
You're talking about the right to left writing from Western languages, compared with the left to right writing from Semitic languages like Arab or Hebrew, they are both horizontal.
But In some cases, Asian languages like Chinese or Japanese can use a vertical writing.
Here I put some links to the MDN Web Docs related to that :
Thank you for sharing this. I will add this to my blog.
This is fantastic! I agree with every point!! 💪
this is really insightful! definitely bookmarking this to have for reference. thanks for sharing! ☺️
Nice article! I liked how you used a fictional store to map each point to real world examples. Thanks for sharing 👏
Thank you so much <3
Great article about internationalization, not accessibility !
Really nice article! Show us that there are more to consider than we usually do when it comes to accessibility.
I too, am, terribly a BCA student and quite bad in HTML, CSS and have literally no idea about JS.
Suggest me a place or site to start with, cause w3school didn't worked for me, much.
Thanks
Fab article! Thanks so much for writing it. I'm really curious to know what countries use MM:HH:SS format for time! That fact blew my mind 🤯
