Current draft - Guide to Guideline 3.1 Level 1 Success Criterion 1
Key terms [done]
already defined:
- natural language
- programmatically determined
Intent of this success criterion [done]
The intent of this success criterion is to ensure that user agents present text and other linguistic content correctly. Both assistive technologies and conventional user agents can render text more accurately when the language of the delivery unit is identified. Screen readers can load the correct pronunciation rules. Visual browsers can display characters and scripts correctly. Media players can show captions correctly. As a result, users with disabilities will be better able to understand the content.
Overview of techniques for addressing this success criterion (General and Technology-independent)
{Lists techniques or combinations of techniques that are known and documented and that the WCAG feels are sufficient to meet the success criterion. Generic strategies are used in place of technology specific techniques. the technology specific form for each generic strategy is then listed below.}
