Hello everyone,
I am looking for some decent online resources written in Spanish for
introducing the basics of digital accessibility, specifically accessible
websites and digital documents, and since I don't speak Spanish myself I
thought I would ask the group in case there are some members who speak
fluently enough to point me in the right direction.
Thank you in advance!

Hi Christine
I do have some resources for you but, unfortunately, I can't guarantee that you will find what you are looking for. You will notice that these are all European. Normally I am looking for materials in French and I find that European Union resources often help me find materials more easily because I can start my search in English and just ask for that document in another language.
Certainly! Here are some accessibility resources related to Spain and the European Union:
Accessibilitas: A digital platform created by the ONCE Foundation and the Royal Disability Board. It promotes knowledge on Universal Accessibility and gathers information on physical, technological, and communication accessibility. You can access the platform here -- https://www.age-platform.eu/spanish-portal-accessibilitas-available-in-english/
National Universal Accessibility Plan (Spain): Launched by Spain's Ministry of Social Rights and Agenda 2030, this plan provides guidelines to help Spain fully comply with the mandates of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. It aims to make Spain an accessible country -- https://accessible-eu-centre.ec.europa.eu/content-corner/news/spain-launches-its-ii-national-universal-accessibility-plan-2024-01-16_en
European Accessibility Act Toolkit for transposition: Available in Spanish, this toolkit assists in implementing the European Accessibility Actn-- https://www.edf-feph.org/publications/eaa-toolkit/
Spanish Web Accessibility Standard (UNE 139803:2004): Developed by the Spanish standards organization AENOR, this standard defines the level of web accessibility that public sector organizations must conform to based on Law 34 of 2002. It is broadly based on the requirements of WCAG 1.0 -- https://www.levelaccess.com/blog/spanish-accessibility-requirements/
About Accessible EU" AccessibleEU is one of the flagship initiatives proposed by the European Commission Strategy for the Rights of Persons with Disabilities 2021-2030. It is a resource Centre on accessibility working on areas such as built environment, transport, information and communication technologies to ensure the participation of persons with disabilities in all areas of life on equal basis with others. -- https://commission.europa.eu/index_es
Let me know if this helps.

Hi Sandra,
Thank you so much for your resource links!
I am not actually looking for resources for people in Spain, just for
associates of mine who speak Spanish (and English as a second language,
which is how we normally chat with each other) and we've been discussing
accessibility and how to get started with the basics. I realized that I
have been sharing with them all my bookmarked fave websites and resources
but they are in English, which must be something of a struggle when reading
some of the more technical articles and terms. So I am trying to find
Spanish equivalents of those sites, so people don't have to struggle.
Actually, I did discover the W3 accessibility site does have a
Spanish collection of their articles, which is great!
https://www.w3.org/WAI/translations/#espaol-spanish
Also since my associates are actually in Panama, it can't hurt to mention
in case anyone happens to know of any Panama-specific resources :)
Thanks again!

Hi Christine
Perhaps I misunderstood your request, I was looking for accessibility resources in Spanish. I always go to the EU for multilingual requests as the EU administration has to provide its materials in all the languages of the EU. I do the same thing when I am looking for French resource materials when I can' find them here in Canada or Quebec. For most of the resources in my email, there should be English-language sites because that is how I found them.
Thx for the reference to the W3 Spanish site -- I did check and there is a French site as well which I can add to a bibliography I am working on the Canadian plain language association.
