Els EUA porten anys d’avantatge en el que concerneix a la igualtat d’accés, però fer-lo bé segueix sent difícil. Alguns problemes que, segons Raul Yzaguirre, els votants xinesos de Nova York van tenir durant les eleccions presidencials de 2000:

  • Traduccions incorrectes (per exemple, Democrat => Republican).
  • Falta d’intèrprets xinesos.
  • Caràcters xinesos massa petits per a llegir en el formulari de votació.
  • Problemes amb el processament dels formularis de registració.
  • Falta de materials bilingües.

    OK, I’ll bite: I make that to be: English, Chinese, again Chinese, Japanese, Spanish, Tagalog and Vietnamese. But only if you’re in a wheelchair.

  2. Trevor sez:

    Oh dear, image hotspots obviously don’t work in whichever technologically disadvantaged rubbish you’re using these days. Should be English, Japanese, Mandarin Chinese, Korean etc etc
    There are quite a lot of Vietnamese people in wheelchairs, but I think most of them haven’t yet made it to California.

    Well, I thought clicking would bring me somewhere. But nothing happened. Hadn’t realized that a text (composed mainly of a URL) popped up in the status bar (of my Safari browser).
    You sure about the Korean?

  4. Trevor sez:

    Oh God. Browsers.

  5. JWdB sez:

    Let me guess. You have tooltips (small floating yellow boxes with text) above this image, and perhaps on other images as well? That seems to be an MSIE feature only. It takes the TITLE (and if not present the ALT) parameter for this. Works not only on images but anchors as well.
    I have not seen any other browser do this.

  6. Trevor sez:

    It works in NN7.0 but seems to have stopped working properly in my build of IE6.0, where only the first rollover shows. Pillocks, the lot of them.

    Alistair Cooke says that one of the seven languages on the Californian ballot was Eskimo.
