Module 2: Checkpoint 33—Other languages

Conformance: Mandatory

Requirements

Websites must provide a link to a page listing all resources available in particular languages.

This page must also link to the general interpreter services statement available from the English version of the 'other languages' page.

If an agency website does not contain translated content, the other languages link may instead link to the 'other languages' page.

Benefits of conformance

  • Users with a non-English speaking background can locate information in their language faster via the footer link than having to navigate through pages of English content.

Risks of non-conformance

  • Increases the difficulty in locating information provided in languages other than English.
