Thread:Project:Support desk/Site accessibility for blinds/reply (5)

Dear Andre,

first of all, let me express my joy, and gratitude, for the fact that my issue has not met indifference, and that people are taking time and putting their efforts into solving it.

Now, trying to reply to your questions as thoroughly as possible. I also went to https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/consensus. When I first started using en.wiktionary.org, the translation of the English word "consensus" into other languages used to show normally, like any other piece of text on the page. A few weeks ago, I noticed the new addition of the show/hide button that you are mentioning. And the disappointing discovery on Sunday, when I started the tread about my difficulties, is that such button is no longer read by my screen reader. So, that part of the page for me shows like this: Translations edit (with the information that it is a link)

General agreement

External links And ignores anything that comes after "translations" and before "external links".

The interesting thing, that I have just discovered when I tried to copy that part of the page to paste it on this e-mail, is that it pasted, and turned readable, the translations of the word "consensus". So, by pasting it into a mail, I can now tell you that "consensus" in German is "konsens" or "einvernehmen", that in Polish it is "konsensus" and so on.

You have also asked: "You also wrote "And when I enter a Polish word, I can no longer see the declentions of that word." Does that refer to the Polish Wiktionary site, or is that still on the English Wiktionary site for entries for Polish words?". I only use the English Wiktionary, so my answer is that it refers to entries for Polish words on the English Wiktionary site.

And lastly, the screen reader I use is JAWS For Windows, version 9.0, and my browser is Internet Explorer 8.0.6001.18702. Yes, I know that both programs are very much out of date. I am in the process of buying a new computer and a new version of JAWS, which will allow me to use the newer versions of all other softwares, IE included.

One last thing that I really want to stress, though, is that, despite my old software, until few weeks ago I was using the en.wiktionary.org site without a single problem, even when the show/hide toggle button has already been implemented.

Please, let me know if I can provide you with more or more accurate information. And once again, thank you for your commitment in helping out.

Have a lovely day, and take care,

Cátia
