Re: [WSG] [Off topic] - icons/clip art/small graphics
Hi Bob, I'm not sure I quite understand what you're after, but when I was using Windows, I always found Irfanview (http://www.irfanview.net/index.htm) excellent for working with graphics. I mostly use Linux these days, and it's the only Windows application I miss. Hope this helps. Lesley designer wrote: Ladies and Gentlemen, Sorry this is off-topic, but I'm at my wits end.

Or can you suggest a better way? I believe screen-readers in form mode do not speak anything besides legends, labels, and controls. So I would not include information using paragraphs, I'd try to move this into a label or a legend. May be something like: check box | label: I require an interpreter select| label: [proper wording here] As John suggested, the next step is to address the whole i18n problem... -- Regards, Thierry www.tjkdesign.com | www.ez-css.org | @thierrykoblentz *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: memberh...@webstandardsgroup.org ***

Personally, I would try this structure:
Do you require a translator?
o No
o Yes
[] Greek | {"I require a Greek Translator" written in greek}
[] Russian | { "I require a Russian Translator" written in Russian}
[] etc
[] Other [__ ]
and so on, obviously using the languages appropriate to your population
segment.
I wouldn't do anything clever with making the language part appear and
disappear when they select yes/no, as seeing the name of their language
in the form can help prompt them to check it.
Hope it helps

RE: [WSG] Yes/No structure?
There is actually a fourth option, which is a pair of buttons, which is a good idea if both choices require an action, such as feeding on to a different form, or if this is the last action of the form. For me, the main thing to think about is 'negative responses' - with a radio button you get one answer by default, which may not be the correct response - if people don't understand a question they will often ignore it, (a negative response) so in your case you should either go with one of the free-choice options (ie not a radio button) or else make sure that you word it in such a way that people need to change the default if they understand that they do _not_ want an interpreter. If that wasn't clear, think about the difference between an opt-out tick-box, and an opt-in tick-box - on paper they are interchangeable, but legally speaking they are not.
