Our commitment

We aim to make the encyclopedia readable by everyone, including people who use a screen reader, a keyboard alone, or text enlargement.

Standard and conformance status

  • Target standard: the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.2), level AA.
  • Conformance status: partially conformant. This means that some parts of the content do not fully conform to the standard. They are listed under "Known limitations".
  • Evaluation method: Self-evaluation with an automated tool (axe-core 4.10, WCAG 2.2 AA rules) on a sample of pages in both languages: an entry page, the home page, search, a type index, the glossary and open data. The tool found no violations. A manual screen-reader test has not yet been carried out
  • Date of last evaluation: 2 November 2026

What we apply

  • Sufficient contrast between text and its background.
  • Keyboard navigation on every page, with a clear highlight on the selected element.
  • Well-ordered headings that screen readers can follow.
  • Alternative text for every image or graphic that carries information.
  • Correct text direction:
  • Right to left in Arabic.
  • Left to right in English.
  • Proper handling of foreign words within Arabic text.
  • Pages that adapt to mobile devices and accept text enlargement without breaking.
  • Respect for the "reduce motion" setting on the visitor's device.

Known limitations

  • Charts are static images. Each chart is accompanied by a table of its data, which screen readers can read.
  • English fragments within Arabic text: some are not yet marked with their language, so a screen reader may read them with Arabic pronunciation. We are working on marking them.
  • PDF documents from third parties: we link to them as sources, and do not control their accessibility. Where a web-page version exists, we give its link.

If you encounter a barrier

  • Write to us at chitour1@gmail.com, and state the page, the barrier, and the device or browser you are using.
  • We reply within 3 working days.
  • If the barrier cannot be fixed quickly, we send you the content in a format that suits you.
