Abstract

Fifteen years after the publication of the first Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), the lack of universal access to information on the internet remains a major stumbling block for inclusiveness and participation in today's society. Although disabled users' interaction with the web has experienced major improvements, a strong commitment toward social inclusion is still required from all actors involved in the web development cycle, including localization professionals.
