Accessibility is the ease with which a person can make use of a product, process, service, or content. In the context of localization, making a product accessible means eliminating barriers of language, usability, disability, and technology. Some of the standards and initiatives that govern accessibility include the Americans with Disabilities Act (USA), Section 508 (USA), Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (global), Level Access (EU), and ICTA Global (International Commission on Technology and Accessibility).
