\n

The mission of the Accessibility Internationalization Community Group is to improve the internationalization of:
\n-The Cognitive and Learning Disabilities Accessibility (COGA) Task Force

Scope
\nThe Accessibility Internationalization Community Group will include the following efforts:
\n-Improve the internationalization of COGA and AG publications.
\n-Develop criteria and tests for easy-to-understand language in different languages.
\n-Develop criteria and tests for text appearance and semantics in different writing systems

The community group\u2019s initial focus is to help internationalize two accessibility resources that are currently in development:
\n-The next version of Making Content Usable for People with Cognitive and Learning Disabilities
\n-WCAG 3.0, with two guidelines as the top priorities: \u201cClear Language\u201d and \u201cText Appearance and Semantics,\u201d which will have tests and criteria in different languages.<\/p>\n
