This makes no sense. What's wrong with outsourcing something you're not very good at?
I don't speak Hindi, I'll happoly outsource the translation of video to an agency that can do this for me.
Same with sign language, I don't know it. I'll happily outsource to an agency that can do the sign language translation.
Care to explain why you think I should have the skills inhouse to suport multiple types of accessibility when those skills can be hired in via a third party?
- sp332 12y agoOutsource if you like, but at least pay for it. Don't make deaf people pay for something you gave for free to everyone else.
- lifeformed 12y agoShould they also have to pay for translation to all languages?
- sp332 12y agoAll languages in the target society, I guess. If e.g. Harvard doesn't have much presence in Swahili-speaking societies, there's not much damage in not having the video translated to Swahili. But if you are giving an advantage to some members of a society over others, you're treating the others as second-class citizens. They might even feel separated, because they can't participate in something that everyone else has access to.
