Subject: Font-resizing widget/Google Translate
No previous message | Next message →

I recently updated our Assistive Technology website to a new CMS. I didn't include the text-resizing widget or the Google Translate widget that were on the old website. Now I'm being asked to include them again. I think they are both unnecessary, but need something to back up my point of view. I found this article from 2010 -- http://webaim.org/blog/web-accessibility-preferences/ -- and was wondering if these points were all still valid.

Thanks!

Karen,

I get a request for a font resizing widget pretty regularly. The
solution I have come up with is the three As linking to a page
explaining how to increase font sizes, for example

http://www.balancefba.org/how-to-zoom/

So far everyone likes this solution. If you can talk your client into it
please feel free to use the content.

good luck!
