German Translation WCAG 2.1 - Disapproval

Dear W3C,

 

this is a note regarding the proposed German translation of WCAG 2.1 at
https://outline-rocks.github.io/wcag/translations/CAT-WCAG21-DE-20211004/.
I hereby disapprove this translation due to two issues that I have raised
and that were not sufficiently accommodated.

 

The two issues were discussed in German and are documented on
https://github.com/outline-rocks/wcag/discussions:

*	Issue Translation of
<https://github.com/outline-rocks/wcag/discussions/63> "assistive
technology" #63

*	This goes back to a translation error of WCAG 2.0.  I do not accept
that we must carry over a wrong translation of "assistive technology" into
WCAG 2.1. The self-imposed restriction that the translation of existing
passages from WCAG 2.0 must not change is unnecessary and not helpful for
the subject matter.

*	Issue 2.1.2 No keyboard trap #64
<https://github.com/outline-rocks/wcag/discussions/64> 

*	My proposal has not been accommodated, and there is no discussion or
reason provided for that. Again, this is a translation error of WCAG 2.0
which should be corrected.

 

Best regards,

Gottfried Zimmermann
