Re: Thoughts on pull request?

It looks like the label was added in response to the suggestion that there might be more than one navigation on a page and the label would help differentiate them for the user: https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-gl/2015JulSep/0194.html


I’m happy to remove it as I wouldn’t fail a page for not having the aria-label, and I’m happy keeping it as I also wouldn’t fail a page for using “breadcrumbs” or “location”.

Thanks,

Yes, if at all needed, using aria-labelledby would be a good idea.

How about “Current Page” ? :)

I do agree there’s no need for an aria-label or a better idea would be to use aria-labelledby and point to the ID of the “you are here” string.

Hello Andrew et al,
I am not sure if there is a real need for a label here when there is already info stating "You are here" which is more meaningful than "breadcrumb" or "location".

I agree with Josh that location in general means to a geographical location and that's what users would assume specially there is a lot of location use in apps today. So even "Current location" as suggested by my friend Paul would also be confusing. Sorry Paul...

I would say something like “Current Location”.

I don’t think that “Breadcrumbs” is a plain language term that non-developer folks know what it means in terms of a web site.

I think that this may we be editorial, but what do people think – is “location” better than “breadcrumbs” in this example?
