Dear Anton,

Many thanks for coordinating the translation. As to your question, the updated list of stakeholders is sufficient. Thank you for engaging more developers in this effort.

Regarding the CAT, can you please upload the Ukrainian translation file on your site and then send its URI to us? The translation's page format is expected to be identical to the original English document of WCAG 2.1. To do so, you may:

1) copy the English document's page source file and place translations accordingly.
or, 2) upload translations via GitHub, following the instruction of "Translations" at <https://github.com/w3c/wcag#translations><https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fw3c%2Fwcag%23translations&data=05%7C01%7Canton.aloshyn%40undp.org%7Ce4d6a44b9b2f4f1873dd08da80fd7b3c%7Cb3e5db5e2944483799f57488ace54319%7C0%7C0%7C637964123441971042%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=Jw7iNg2lRjGEqE9juFZSidIxgDxnNCT%2BVzvIJQ7MD3s%3D&reserved=0>.

Then we will proceed with next steps (Step 4 & 5 of the Translation Policy [1]), which are to start the 30 days review period to solicit comments publicly.

Please feel free to reach out for any questions or more information.

Best Regards,
Xueyuan

Dear Xueyuan,

Thank you for authorizing our project as LTO. Please find attached the "Candidate Authorized Translation (CAT)" in two languages – English and Ukrainian. My apologies for not responding earlier. In fact, all this time we were dealing with the translation and its broad discussion with the stakeholders to acquire the consolidated translation of key terms. And the results of these efforts facilitated by UNDP Ukraine and our DIA Support project are in the enclosed files.

The translation itself has been thoroughly reviewed by all stakeholders, specifically by a number of local web developers with visual impairments who have practical knowledge of how to tackle web accessibility challenges and operate professional vocabulary in both English and Ukrainian. The stakeholders including the experts in law and regulations in the web accessibility domain made their suggestions that were attentively considered by professional translators, editors and the web accessibility specialists who were making the final edits.

The list of stakeholders being updated in accordance with your suggestions is also attached. Please let us know if it looks sufficient now or still needs more organizations/experts.

In general, kindly advise what are the next steps in accepting CAT by W3C and publishing it on your website.



Best regards, Anton.

Subject: [LTO approved - step 2 to 3] Re: Ukrainian translation of WCAG 2.1


Dear Anton,

Many thanks to you and the DIA Support Project (UNDP Ukraine) for being willing to lead the translation, and recruiting the stakeholder organizations.

On behalf of the W3C and of the WAI team, I am happy to notify you, in your quality of LTO, to proceed with the preparation of a Candidate Authorized Translation of WCAG 2.1 (<https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG21/><https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2FTR%2FWCAG21%2F&data=05%7C01%7Canton.aloshyn%40undp.org%7Ce4d6a44b9b2f4f1873dd08da80fd7b3c%7Cb3e5db5e2944483799f57488ace54319%7C0%7C0%7C637964123441971042%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=uKh%2BaDmj2BIuPkHc3t3U%2BEA0IV%2FEVZFIh3IYfwPKbmY%3D&reserved=0>) into Ukrainian.

Meanwhile, in order to facilitate the widest review as much as possible, we encourage LTO to recruit more stakeholders as you are able, such as industry web developers.

We are entering step 3 of the policy for Authorized W3C Translations, in which the LTO develops a "Candidate Authorized Translation (CAT)" of the entire document (<https://www.w3.org/2005/02/TranslationPolicy.html><https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2005%2F02%2FTranslationPolicy.html&data=05%7C01%7Canton.aloshyn%40undp.org%7Ce4d6a44b9b2f4f1873dd08da80fd7b3c%7Cb3e5db5e2944483799f57488ace54319%7C0%7C0%7C637964123441971042%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=H0pPmes%2FwW4pI%2BXQCeVpl3zjn%2BeFBK8zCtSUTkHcR6w%3D&reserved=0>). When complete, the LTO announces the CAT and its URI on the translators' mailing list (<w3c-translators@w3.org><mailto:w3c-translators@w3.org>).

Thanks again for being patient, and sorry for the late response due to some internal process.

Please feel free to reach out for any questions or more information.

Best regards,
Xueyuan Jia, W3C Marketing & Communications

Dear Anton,

Thank you for informing us that DIA Support Project intends to lead the Authorized Ukrainian Translation of WCAG 2.1. We're currently going through some internal process and will get back to you as soon as I have update from W3C WAI Team.

Dear W3C colleagues,

The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in Ukraine in terms of the project “Digital, Inclusive, Accessible: Support to Digitalisation of Public Services in Ukraine (DIA Support project)” presents its compliments to the Consortium and would like to notify you about its intention to become the LTO for coordination of developing an authorized Ukrainian translation of WCAG 2.1.

The DIA Support Project<https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ua.undp.org%2Fcontent%2Fukraine%2Fen%2Fhome%2Fprojects%2Fdigital--inclusive--accessible--support-to-digitalisation-of-sta.html&data=05%7C01%7Canton.aloshyn%40undp.org%7Ce4d6a44b9b2f4f1873dd08da80fd7b3c%7Cb3e5db5e2944483799f57488ace54319%7C0%7C0%7C637964123441971042%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=RAhs5jrG9uYrPiLjd7FnMivkI9JgQSs3dkKIIbml2EI%3D&reserved=0> was launched on 1 January 2021 to assist its government counterparts, first and foremost the Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine (MDT) to select a set of services required by vulnerable groups of Ukraine’s population and ensure that these services can be delivered in a digitally enhanced and mobile-based form. In addition to MDT, the project closely works with the Human Rights Commissioner, the Ministry of Social Affairs and the Office of the First Lady who coordinates barrier-free initiatives across Ukraine.

The web accessibility domain is one of the DIA Support Project’s core directions where it has been making continuous efforts in close cooperation with MDT. Specifically, in September 2021 we presented two joint studies on digital accessibility: “Inclusiveness and human rights at the forefront. Accessibility of e-government services and tools for citizens in Ukraine” and “International practices on the accessibility of mobile applications of public authorities.” Both studies showed that public resources in Ukraine only partly met universal web accessibility standards.

By considering recommendations from these studies, MDT with the support of UNDP has started to create a digital accessibility national standard based on the European standard EN 301 549. Basically, this standard, which hopefully will be adopted early in 2022, fully mirrors the requirements stated in EN 301 549. The standard is planned to be adopted in parallel with respective Decree of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine.  In this regard, the Ukrainian official translation of WCAG would have critical importance as an inevitable part of future general technical standard in Ukraine.

Apart from the standard’s promotion, the project conducts thematical training by involving visually impaired certified web accessibility experts who, among other aspects, have developed methodology for monitoring of the public resources’ level of accessibility. The methodology first is used to assess 100 government-sponsored websites and lately will be easily utilized by Ukrainian public authorities for autonomous assessment of their web-based informational resources.

As stated in the beginning, the DIA Support Project expresses its readiness to coordinate the whole process of WCAG translation which is planned to be performed jointly with the stakeholders (please see Attachment 1) representing public, non-governmental institutions and the local business that works with web accessibility domain. Such a wide and diverse web accessibility network will review the first draft which will be provided by our project. All institutions and individuals participating in translation review and/or approval of the final version of the document will be recorded.

To summarize this letter, please provide your approval that DIA Support project will be LTO for authorized Ukrainian translation of WCAG 2.1. And kindly advise on our further steps to be taken. The UNDP Ukraine and MDT are also ready to send an official letter of intent, if needed.

 Looking forward to hearing from you!
