7:30 am start today! Apart from #interpreting at breakfast when travelling with a delegation, I think that today is my earliest start for a simultaneous interpreting job. Luckily it's online from home! 🙃

In WCAG 2.2, I found a term "encloses" in Glossary section, with no links from anywhere in WCAG success criteria. I wonder what does this term means. The description only says "solidly bounds or surrounds".

Trying to pay attention to a dubbed movie, the #Monsterdon posts, and my family group text (who are currently debating the ethical & practical use of #AI in #ASL #interpreting 🤯).

Language policy in the Belgian Senate.

In this parliamentary committee room (for institutional reforms) there’s live interpreting for the two main national languages: Dutch and French.

But on the microphones the instructions are written down in neither language, but in English (which has no legal status as a language in Belgium).

(I love it.)

#accessibility folks, what is your opinion on WCAG 2.2's Focus Not Obscured when we're talking about focus targets that are behind a thing™ that the user opened/caused?

Example: The links behind that Hamburger menu: does 2.4.11/12 require the menu auto-close on blur? https://codepen.io/marcus/pen/rNQVOpZ/f7b4131baa9bdfa7829d55809161495c

Change the variable autoClose from true to false to switch behaviors
