Methods Prototype using 3.1.1 Language of Page

Original

The default human language of each Web page can be programmatically determined.^[1]

Draft: Language of environment

Short Description: The human language of the environment can be identified by assistive technology.

Extended Description (see the plain language prototype): From Understanding Success Criterion 3.1.1: Language of Page

Ensure that you provide information for the environment so that the platform presents text and other linguistic content correctly. Both assistive technologies and the platforms can render text more accurately when the language of the environment is identified. Screen readers can load the correct pronunciation rules. The environment/platform 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.

Expected Outcome: [task-based outcome]
