Digital Accessibility Updates on IDPD - user needs and language updates

Dear WAI Interest Group,

What is MAUR, SAUR, XAUR, RAUR, NAUR? You can find out from W3C WAI’s blog post:

 Digital Accessibility Updates on International Day of Persons with Disabilities (IDPD)
 https://w3.org/blog/2021/12/idpd/

Also, learn about translations in 35 languages. And updated wording around:
* speech recognition, voice recognition
* description of visual information in videos (audio description, video description, described video)
* color blind, color vision deficiency, "cannot distinguish between certain colors"
* contrast - technically 'luminance contrast', not 'color contrast'

We encourage you to share the link to the blog post widely. Here's a tweet thread you can use:

Thanks much!
