Something like: "Users who could benefit from cognitive accessibility support" 14:13:55 If you did that, you could still list the disabilities, but then also add language-related challenges, such as: Native and Foreign Accents, Language Processing Speed, International Audiences, Limited Vocabulary, Comprehensive Translation Needs 14:14:11 There are several details to translation. In short, we would like to be able to add a user story to address the additional details. We understand that this won't be able to be done in time for the 1st working draft, but with the permission of COGA, we would like to try to do that for a future draft. 14:15:38 Localization and Internationalization both relate to translation, but are different as follows: Localization is typically for 2 languages and Internationalization is for 3 or more languages. 14:17:07 One possible example for the user story we would like to add would be about how English often leaves words out. For example, "Care Management" instead of "Healthcare Management." This can complicate translation and also be a barrier for people with certain types of cognitive disabilities. 14:18:03 Another consideration with voice systems and conversational interfaces are the translation of prompts and utterances. Prompts are what the system says to the user. Utterances are the responses users give back to the system. Both need to be translated. 14:18:56 rrsagent, generate minutes 14:18:57 I have made the request to generate https://www.w3.org/2025/07/30-global-inclusion-minutes.html Jan 14:19:24 zakim, end meeting 14:19:24 As of this point the attendees have been andy, JStro, HayleyG, kirkwood 14:19:26 RRSAgent, please draft minutes 14:19:28 I have made the request to generate https://www.w3.org/2025/07/30-global-inclusion-minutes.html Zakim 14:19:33 I am happy to have been of service, Jan; please remember to excuse RRSAgent.
