guideline: Readable
Make text easy to read and understand.
3.1.1 Language of Page
Each page must have a <html lang="">
attribute that matches the main language of the page.
3.1.2 Language of Parts
Any parts of the content in a different language must be marked with the correct lang
attribute. Expressions borrowed from another language (like “déjà vu” in English) do not need this, unless pronunciation or understanding would be affected.
3.1.3 Unusual Words
Unusual terms, jargon, or figurative language should be avoided when possible, or explained the first time they appear.
3.1.4 Abbreviations
Abbreviations and acronyms should be avoided when possible, or explained the first time they appear.
3.1.5 Reading Level
If content requires reading skills above lower secondary education (around 9th grade), provide a simpler version, a summary, a visual aid, or a spoken version to help with understanding.
3.1.6 Pronunciation
If a word can be pronounced in different ways with different meanings, the intended meaning must be clarified to avoid confusion or ambiguity.
