Re: [review period] Arabic candidate authorized translation of WCAG2.0

There are some things that may need attention at 
http://validator.w3.org/i18n-checker/check?uri=www.utic.rnu.tn%2Fwcag2.0%2F#validate-by-uri+

In addition to the items called out explicitly, note:

1. we recommend to use dir="rtl" on the html element tag to set the 
default base direction for the document. For example, this would capture 
the title element too.

2. many of the spans labelled as 'en' have dir set to rtl - I think this 
should be ltr.

3. I noticed a number of places where span lang=en was used, but the 
content is Arabic, not English.

And here are a few other things I noticed from a quick perusal of the 
document:

4. I noticed some references to "exemple.com" - is this a French 
translation of example.com or a typo? Is it ok to change example.com?

5. I'm curious: should it be "XML (AJAX)" or "(AJAX) XML" near the 
bottom of the page. (If you are struggling to make it look the way you 
want, I can help.)

6. The square bracketing looks odd in " المرجعين [[sRGB و[[IEC-4WD)". 
Was this intended?

7. The rendering also seems a little incorrect for the RGB information in
"<p class="prefix"><b>ملاحظة  3: </b>التعريف المستخدم في مجال "تحولين 
متقابلين ينتج أحمر مشبع" عندما يكون R/(R+G+B)&gt;=0.8 والتغيير في قيمة 
(R-G-B)*320 أكبر من 20 (القيمة السالبة ل (R-G-B)*320 تعتبر صفرا) لكل 
حالة تحول أو لكليهما. تتراوح قيمةR وG وB بين 0 و1 كما هو مبين في تعريف 
"الإضاءة النسبية" <a href="#HARDING-BINNIE">[هاردينغ- بيني]</a>.</p>"
I think more markup is needed to make it look right. (Again, contact me 
if necessary.)

8. In noticed colons at the end of a line being wrapped onto a new line 
on their own, presumably there should be a &#xA0; between the colon and 
the preceding word?

Hope that helps,

RI
