Making the Digital World Accessible: How LILT Accelerates ADA and Section 508 Compliance

In today's digital landscape, accessibility is no longer optional—it is a necessity. State and local governments, along with regulated industries, are under increasing pressure to ensure their websites and documents meet ADA, Section 508, and WCAG 2.2 AA requirements.

At LILT, we believe that everyone should be able to access and understand digital content. We are excited to share how our platform is evolving into a compliance accelerator, helping you transform non-compliant documents into fully accessible assets.

Understanding the Standards: WCAG 2.2 and Section 508

For many organizations, the primary goal is simple: "Make our content compliant." But what does that actually look like in practice?

What is WCAG 2.2 AA?

WCAG 2.2 AA: This is the technical "rulebook." It ensures content has high color contrast, logical keyboard navigation, and text alternatives (alt-text) for images.

Why Section 508 Matters for SLED Organizations

Section 508: This U.S. federal law requires government digital content to meet these standards, specifically referencing WCAG to ensure equity for users with disabilities.

How LILT Solves the Accessibility Gap

Traditionally, LILT has been your partner for language translation. Now, we are leveraging our Unified Job Submission workflow to handle Accessibility Remediation as a dedicated service.

Beyond Translation: Dedicated Accessibility Remediation

You can now upload non-compliant HTML, DOCX, or PDF files and receive remediated, compliant versions back whether translation is needed or not.
