I would really like you to post the accessibility issue. I am going to a meeting next Thursday concerning user interface and I wanted to make myself informed to some degree. Susie -----Original Message----- From: programmingblind-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:programmingblind-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Dorene Cornwell Sent: Thursday, September 08, 2011 7:27 PM To: programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: S A P Susie SAP is an international company based in Germany and I am on a list of blind interpreters and translators. Some of them do technical localization and have to work to varying degrees with the products they work with. Would you like me to post a question and see whether any of them have enough experience to help identify accessibility issues? To be honest, I also think when people make purchasing decisions that it is reasonable that accessibility and training about how to use accessibility features be included in the work plan. Have you already asked people involved in the decisions and deployment scheduling about accessibility, say as a reasonable accommodation?
