Hindi Translation of Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.0

Posted by Sanchia de Souza at Mar 25, 2009 12:55 PM | Permalink

A Hindi translation of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 was commissioned by the National Internet Exchange of India (NIXI) and is now available for download.

The National Internet Exchange of India (NIXI) has supported the Centre for Internet and Society and its campaign for web accessibility for the disabled. In addition to sponsoring the first National Workshop on Web Accessibility to train web developers, held in February 2009, the NIXI has now brought out a Hindi translation of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0. It is hoped that this translated version will help Indian web developers to get a better understanding of the guidelines for creating accessible web pages.

About Us

The Centre for Internet and Society (CIS) is a non-profit organisation that undertakes interdisciplinary research on internet and digital technologies from policy and academic perspectives. The areas of focus include digital accessibility for persons with disabilities, access to knowledge, intellectual property rights, openness (including open data, free and open source software, open standards, open access, open educational resources, and open video), internet governance, telecommunication reform, digital privacy, and cyber-security. The research at CIS seeks to understand the reconfiguration of social processes and structures through the internet and digital media technologies, and vice versa.

Through its diverse initiatives, CIS explores, intervenes in, and advances contemporary discourse and regulatory practices around internet, technology, and society in India, and elsewhere.
