TheEvilSkeleton<p>After two weeks of writing, revising, and trying to make everything as digestible as possible, I finally published "GNOME Calendar: A New Era of Accessibility Achieved in 90 Days", where I explain in detail the steps we took to turn GNOME Calendar from an app that was literally unusable with a keyboard and screen reader to an app that is (finally) accessible to keyboard and screen reader users as of GNOME 49!</p><p><a href="https://tesk.page/2025/07/25/gnome-calendar-a-new-era-of-accessibility-achieved-in-90-days/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">tesk.page/2025/07/25/gnome-cal</span><span class="invisible">endar-a-new-era-of-accessibility-achieved-in-90-days/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/GNOMECalendar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GNOMECalendar</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/GNOME" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GNOME</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Accessibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Accessibility</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/a11y" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>a11y</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/DisabilityPrideMonth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DisabilityPrideMonth</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Linux</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/FOSS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FOSS</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/OSS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OSS</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/OpenSource" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OpenSource</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/FreeSoftware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FreeSoftware</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/GTK" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GTK</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/libadwaita" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>libadwaita</span></a></p>
David O'Brien<p>I've tested this and the toggle is a &lt;button&gt;, keyboard focusable/operable and available in landmarks.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/A11y" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>A11y</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/accessibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>accessibility</span></a></p>
Adrian Roselli<p>That same person said `aria-description` is good in Firefox. But again, tests were not robust.</p><p>Firefox is the best, but still fails on an `&lt;iframe&gt;`. I suggest, again, making your own tests with other languages, element types, and dynamism.</p><p><a href="https://adrianroselli.com/2025/01/aria-description-does-not-translate.html#Update01" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">adrianroselli.com/2025/01/aria</span><span class="invisible">-description-does-not-translate.html#Update01</span></a></p><p><a href="https://toot.cafe/tags/a11y" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>a11y</span></a> <a href="https://toot.cafe/tags/accessibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>accessibility</span></a></p>
Adrian Roselli<p>Please run your own tests.</p><p>I outline my methodology in the post. It’s not perfect, but I try three languages, hidden content, and dynamic content across real sites.</p><p>If you’re only testing one (common) language on one visible non-dynamic control, that’s far less robust.</p><p><a href="https://toot.cafe/tags/HTML" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HTML</span></a> <a href="https://toot.cafe/tags/accessibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>accessibility</span></a> <a href="https://toot.cafe/tags/a11y" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>a11y</span></a></p>
Adrian Roselli<p>I was told that `aria-label` now always auto-translates in browsers. The evidence was meh. So I tested and updated:<br><a href="https://adrianroselli.com/2019/11/aria-label-does-not-translate.html#Update07" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">adrianroselli.com/2019/11/aria</span><span class="invisible">-label-does-not-translate.html#Update07</span></a></p><p>Still nope.</p><p>Safari only knows 21 languages, Firefox knows more?, none handle dynamic `aria-label`, and there still bugs.</p><p><a href="https://toot.cafe/tags/accessibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>accessibility</span></a> <a href="https://toot.cafe/tags/a11y" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>a11y</span></a></p>
