Accessibility is availability. I fully believe it has nothing to do with human realities. Disability literally means apart from ability. Who here has all abilities? The practice of Web #a11y technically helps everyone. We use the word inclusion. Exclusion is the true disability.

Accessibility is how well disabled people can use something. It’s a spectrum from more accessible to less accessible, with the goal to be as inclusive as possible.

So do you think this means that a far greater percentage of accessibility budgets should go towards good translation? It seems that by putting something in Chinese we make it available to vastly more people than if we add the right ARIA markup for a custom control somewhere.

Internationalisation, globalization, localization, the technical issues of accessibility among others including the digital divide and governmental mucking about with a recognized Global Internet as part human rights all factor in if you can't get there it's not accessible.
