Hello, This proposal comes from an action item received at the 28 July teleconf [1]. In the 16 July revision of the UAGL [2], checkpoint 9.9 reads: 9.9 Make available the primary language of a document's content. [Priority 3] For example, use HTTP header information or language attribute information from the document root. Proposed change (Priority 1, for assistive techologies): Render content according to natural language changes identified by markup. For unsupported natural languages, allow the user request prompting when language changes. NOTES: a) This checkpoint is meant to cover checkpoints 4.1 and 4.3 from WCAG 1.0: both primary language and language changes. Note that since 4.1 is priority 1, this one is too. b) This checkpoint is also meant to allow users to turn on/off support for alerts to language changes. - Ian [1] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-ua/1999JulSep/0056.html [2] http://www.w3.org/WAI/UA/WAI-USERAGENT-19990716 [3] http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/WAI-WEBCONTENT-19990505 -- Ian Jacobs (jacobs@w3.org) http://www.w3.org/People/Jacobs Tel/Fax: +1 212 684-1814
