Accessibility Statement for TRADUKI Websites

At TRADUKI, we are committed to ensuring that our websites are accessible to as many people as possible, in line with The European Accessibility Act (EAA).

We work continually to improve the accessibility of our websites and online content for users with visual, auditory, motor, or cognitive impairments. Our websites are designed to be usable across a range of devices, including desktop computers, tablets, and smartphones.

This statement applies to traduki.eu and its associated subdomains (database.traduki.eu, applications.traduki.eu).

Accessibility Standards and Principles

TRADUKI aims to conform to WCAG 2.1 Level AA accessibility standards, as incorporated in the EN 301 549 harmonised European standard. Web accessibility at TRADUKI is guided by the four core WCAG principles:

• Perceivable – Information and the user interface are presented to users in ways they can perceive.
• Operable – The website’s input forms, controls (e.g. buttons, checkboxes), and navigation are operable.
• Understandable – Information and the operation of the user interface must be understandable.
• Robust – Web content must work on different browsers and devices, including assistive technologies.

Compliance Status

The TRADUKI websites are currently partially compliant with WCAG 2.1 Level AA due to the current non-compliances listed below. We are actively working to address these issues and improve our overall accessibility.

Non-accessible Content

The following known accessibility issues exist on the TRADUKI websites:

Perceivable

• 1.1.1 Non-text Content – Some images and visual elements lack appropriate alternative text.
• 1.2.3 Audio Description or Media Alternative – Pre-recorded videos may not include audio descriptions or text-based alternatives.
• 1.3.1 Info and Relationships – Page structures (headings, lists, labels) may not always be correctly conveyed to assistive technologies.
• 1.3.2 Meaningful Sequence – In some cases, reading order may not follow the visual presentation.
• 1.4.1 Use of Color – Certain visual content may rely solely on colour to convey meaning.
• 1.4.3 Contrast (Minimum) – Text and interface elements sometimes do not meet minimum contrast ratios.
• 1.4.11 Non-text Contrast – Interface components (e.g., icons, buttons) may have insufficient contrast.
• 1.4.13 Content on Hover or Focus – Additional content triggered on hover/focus may not be dismissible or accessible via keyboard.

Operable

• 2.1.1 Keyboard – Some interactive elements may not be fully accessible using a keyboard.
• 2.2.1 Pause, Stop, Hide – Certain animated content cannot be paused or stopped by users.
• 2.4.1 Bypass Blocks – Mechanisms to skip repeated content (e.g., skip links) may be missing.
• 2.4.3 Focus Order – The logical focus order may not always match the visual reading order.
• 2.4.4 Link Purpose (In Context) – Some link texts are unclear or ambiguous when read out of context.
• 2.4.7 Focus Visible – Keyboard focus indicators may be missing or difficult to see.
• 2.4.11 Focus Not Obscured (Minimum) – In some cases, focused elements may be partially hidden from view.

Content Exemptions or Limitations
