  I think it won't be difficult to translate the current title to  
  Turkish because reporting can be easily translated and differentiated  
  as "writing a report" or "reporting something". However, even though  
  I like the current title I think people who are not native English  
  speakers would find it confusing in English.

  I like both william's and Liam's suggestions.

  William>> Encouraging accessibility - Approaching organizations with  
  inaccessible websites
  Liam>> How to complain about an inaccessible websites
