I would add the lang="ja" tag.

Technically speaking Japanese is written in four scripts and "rōmaji" is one of them. In English mode, some screen readers may not know what to do with a vowel with a macron on top.

You can also send a test file to the student if they are willing to check it. The student will need to install a Japanese voice on the screen reader, but that's gotten a lot easier.

Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any questions.

Best
Elizabeth

P.S. Having worked with a Spanish course, I can attest that having Spanish read out with an English voice is not sufficient for the learner.

Friendly greetings!
In an introductory Japanese course, there are several places where Japanese
words are written out using "rōmaji" which basically is the
pronunciation of the word written out using Roman characters. For example,
The Japanese word *ローマ字* would be written as *rōmaji*.

Would the best practice, both semantically and accessibility -wise, be to
add the lang="ja" attribute to a wrapper <span> element? HTML code example:
<span lang="ja">rōmaji</span>

My thinking is that yes, it should have the lang attribute because it is a
Japanese word. Anyone have any experience with the accessibility aspects of
this?

Thank you for your help!
Murray

Yes, but it's rare.

A logo represents the owner of the information or product, and many logos are legally trademarked, which means that no one can use that logo but its owner.

In our hyper-faked world of news and dis-information, a logo can help authenticate that the information is from the logo's rightful owner and is not a deep-fake or knock-off.

So we recommend that at least one copy of the publisher's logo be live with Alt Text stating, "Logo, ABC agency."

All other iterations of the logo can be artifacted, including when used in repeating headers and footers, as background images, or in different sections of the webpage or document.

Regarding the term "Decorative" . . .
It's a subjective term, and as a former professor of graphic design, I can make a strong case that nearly everything on a webpage or document page is decorative — that is, it's visually designed to grab the attention of sighted users.

In accessibility, the term "decorative" is inaccurate.
The real decision to make is whether to artifact (or hide) the information from those using screen readers and other A T, or keep it live and discoverable by A T.

In our classes and consulting, we urge our clients to ditch the term "decorative" because it just sends everyone down a bottomless rabbit hole of confusion and misunderstanding.

So every graphic, whether a logo or something else, should have either Alt Text to describe it, or be artifacted to hide it.

That's my 2 cents.

Is there any case where a logo can be considered decorative?

Interesting comment Bevi - in the ideal world of graphic design I can see how decorative is unhelpful. In the real world where people throw up a stock image because the template needs one many are clearly “decorative' in the English meaning of the word. In the same way we are now starting to see our agency advice considering whether some of those background twiddles are decorative or whether , for example, Maori design is being consciously used to evoke a connection to the land. In that case a decorative border is more than decorative.

The key for our thinking is to ask why that image was chosen and what it conveys – if it conveys something then it is not decorative and the visual message is required for screen readers. Particularly with the indigenous designs this is an interesting debate – and often it is not something that is necessarily pointed out to sighted users but we still feel it should be included in the ALT text.

My journey around this started some years ago working on a women's health site with a changing sidebar telling different women's stories. At first I though the portrait to be decorative but as I watched the richness of the images changing I realised an important message from the images was that the site was for all women, pakeha, maori, pasifika, Asian and all ages. I changed my advice and insisted on descriptive alt text

Bevi, I read elsewhere on WebAIM that it's unnecessary to use the word
"logo" in the alt text. I've always found this confusing.

Yes, in general you don't need to say "image of...", "picture of...", "logo
of..." because the screen reader is already going to announce that it's an
image or graphic, but there are situations where it might be helpful.

With regards to logos, if there's a legal reason for saying so, as Bevi
mentioned, perhaps for copyright purposes, then saying "logo" might be
required or strongly encouraged by your legal department.

If I'm on a museum site and there is a mixture of paintings and photos,
then I might want to hear "painting of..." or "picture of..."

But for images used in buttons or links, you generally don't want/need the
"image of".

I agree with Glen (mostly). As a screen reader user I am alerted that something is a "graphic". I don't need to know it's a photo of, image of, portrait of,etc. because that is built in to screen reader technology. It just becomes cognitive overload for assistive technology users to add that extra verbiage in alt text.

However, regarding a "logo", I think that it's possible to describe logo images in a meaningful way. Personally I think that the designers who create logo's should be the folks responsible for creating the alt text of the image; they know what their intent was when they created the logo. I've seen some really meaningful alt text on logo's.

If the designer is no longer available to create the alt text, or someone else is responsible for the copy, then "Company XYZ logo" is enough alt text for me. I tend to skip over the graphic of the logo and wonder what is visually intriguing but I, even though I might try, can't control their workflow.

Basically, if someone doesn't care enough to describe their logo then I let it go. I'm not in control.

Cheers,
David
