Section 508 is a part of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, which requires federal agencies to make their electronic and information technology (EIT) accessible to people with disabilities.
This includes websites, multimedia, software, and documentation. Compliance with Section 508 is essential for creating an inclusive environment for individuals with visual, auditory, motor, and cognitive disabilities.
Our goal is to ensure that all digital content is accessible to people with disabilities, enhancing usability and inclusivity.
Our Approach
Link Translations follows a comprehensive approach to ensure that all localized content adheres to Section 508 standards.

We begin by conducting a thorough accessibility assessment of your existing digital content to identify areas that may not comply with Section 508 standards.

Multimedia Accessibility
For videos and audio files, we provide closed captioning, audio descriptions, and transcripts to make content accessible.
Document Formatting
We ensure all localized documents are formatted to be accessible, including proper tagging, alt text for images, and navigable structure.
