Goal
The language selector is not navigable by a keyboard in Safari, Firefox, or Chrome and does not have aria labels that can make this accessible to assistive technology.
- Language selector should be able to have focus when tabbed on
-
Enter
should open the menu - Arrow keys and enter should allow for traversing through menu options and selecting
- We should have narration for when the language selector menu is expanded, closed, and what item is selected
- We should have narration for what type of control is being focused on/interacted with (ex: an aria-label and description that explains that this is a language selector that will change the language across our website)
