Thanks for posting this link. I know we will eventually have to cross the
accessibility bridge at some point.

Any more thoughts on accessibility support in the Notebook? We have a visually impaired learner in a Software Carpentry workshop this weekend, and have some learners with physical challenges as well.

Any more thoughts on accessibility support in the Notebook

There haven't been a lot of work for current notebook. I haven't been involved that much but I suppose that is taken care of in JupyterLab. @jasongrout & @ellisonbg might be more aware.

We have talked to some of our collaborators from IBM about their doing an
accessibility study of the notebook. But that hasn't happened and our core
devs are swamped with other things. I don't think the work is too
difficult, but it will require sustained effort (probably a year) by
someone who knows that area.

cf. jupyter/enhancement-proposals#10, where the current internationalization discussion is going on currently.

[JamiesHQ]

See #jupyterlab/jupyterlab#911 as well

[gnestor]

Update:

• RTL support: Bidi support #2357
• Internationalization support: Preliminary i18n implementation as outlined in Jep16 #2140

There are ongoing accessibility efforts now. Let's close this and open more specific issues (e.g. #3102 and #3103 which propose improving out workflow for building translation and contributing translations.

[takluyver]

While translations do help with some kinds of 'accessibility', the term when applied to software usually includes accessibility for people with visual impairment. A key part of that is how well it works for someone using a screenreader.

So I'm going to reopen this, because there are important aspects that are not covered by the translation work.

Closing as there are now different issues tracking accessibility improvements for Jupyter Notebook 7, for example #6800

Thanks!
