In Module: 8 of the Accessible Name & Description Inspector (ANDI) Tool video series, learn how to use the ANDI Structures module to identify the page’s primary human language and ensure it is programmatically identified to ensure that content developers provide information in the web page that user agents (e.g., browsers, assistive technology, operating systems) need to present text and other linguistic content correctly.
Voice Over (VO): Welcome to the Andy Page Language module. The purpose of this module is to identify the page's primary human language and ensure it is programmatically identified.
VO: To start, open a web page and launch Andy. Next, choose the Select Module drop-down menu and navigate to the Structures module.
VO: To evaluate page language, select the More Details drop-down menu. Next, select Page Language to display the dialog box containing the language attribute value, example English, EN.
VO: Review the language attribute value to determine if it matches the primary human language on the page. The page language passes when the language attribute value matches the primary human language.
VO: The page language fails when the language attribute value does not match the primary human language or there is no defined language attribute.
VO: Does not apply is not an acceptable answer when testing for page language. This concludes the Andy Page Language module.
VO: Users are encouraged to view the other videos for more information on how to utilize Andy.
