Eberth Gamarra what is a11y and l18n ??
11:38 AM
Shahan StFleur A11y is a numeronym for accessibility, a term used in web development and other fields
11:38 AM
Shareese Rucker a11y is accessibility
11:39 AM
Michael Elgo The are called numeronyms. A11y = Accessibility, I18n = Internationalization
11:39 AM
Shahan StFleur i18n is an abbreviation for internationalization, which is the process of designing a product, software, or website so it can be easily adapted for different languages and regions without changing the core code.
11:39 AM
David Willequer l18n is a new one for me, but a11y stands for accessibility, the 11 represents the number of characters between the a and the y.

Slava Savitsky '@Alaina Beaver Not sure if you are aware of this issue... Accessibility-related articles from the product documentation don't seem to support the Copy latest version URL feature. Using that option generates a broken link that leads to a Page not found error when plugged into the browser's address bar. An example of such a page can be found via the link below, but in fact all pages from the Accessibility section seem to be affected.
