Color blindness in the diffs from the translation memory
Disclaimer: I am not an accessibilityAccessibilityAccessibility (commonly shortened to a11y) refers to the design of products, devices, services, or environments for people with disabilities. The concept of accessible design ensures both “direct access” (i.e. unassisted) and “indirect access” meaning compatibility with a person’s assistive technology (for example, computer screen readers). (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accessibility) expert, so everything written here is the result of my experimentation and I may be wrong.
GitHubGitHubGitHub is a website that offers online implementation of git repositories that can easily be shared, copied and modified by other developers. Public repositories are free to host, private repositories require a paid subscription. GitHub introduced the concept of the ‘pull request’ where code changes done in branches by contributors can be reviewed and discussed before being merged be the repository owner. https://github.com/ has the same default color scheme, and these colors have become a standard in the IT industry.
Who have enough contrast between the font color and the background.
Or for a new solution to allow to all color blindness people to differentiate between the removed text and the added one. We don’t have in our roadmap to create different themes.
The contrast for the removed text is 4.29 and the contrast for the added text is 3.21. The minimum ratio (AA rating) should be 4.5 and the enhanced ratio (AAA rating) should be, at least, 7.
Possible solution
The best solution is to change the color for both texts, achieving the 7:1 ratio. If we use black, the deleted text ratio is 11.32:1 and the added text is 14.44, getting the AAA ratio.
Conclusion
If we change the contrast, and if we add the strike-through to the deleted text, we will improve the accessibility, and we will open the solution to color blindness people.
