Accessibility and Translation Have Always Been Treated as Separate Problems. They Are Not.
Most organizations manage accessibility and translation as separate workstreams: an accessibility team handles WCAG compliance, a translation vendor handles language. The content is made accessible, then translated, then distributed.
Ulatus resolves this at the root. We deliver accessibility compliance and multilingual translation as a single integrated service, with one team and one quality standard applied to both disciplines simultaneously.

Seven Ways Translation Breaks Accessibility and Why It Matters
Understanding this is understanding why the combination of disciplines is non-negotiable.
Select a topic
Alt text is left in the source language
Image alt text lives in HTML metadata or document tags, not in visible text. Standard CAT tools exclude it from translation packages, so translators never see it.
The result
Translated content that fails WCAG 1.1.1, the most commonly cited accessibility failure in ADA litigation.
Tell us your languages, formats, and compliance requirement. We'll give you a clear path to accessible content in every language.
Our Multilingual Accessibility Services
Every accessibility service is also available in 200+ languages, as a single integrated engagement, not two separate projects.
Multilingual PDF Remediation
Accessible PDFs in any language
PDFs remediated for Section 508, WCAG 2.1/2.2, and PDF/UA compliance and translated in a single workflow, with tags, reading order, alt text, form fields, and RTL reading direction preserved through translation.
Multilingual Document Accessibility
Word, Excel, PowerPoint, accessible in every language
Office documents made accessible and translated simultaneously, with heading structure, alt text, table markup, and language declarations updated in every target language, including RTL.

Multilingual eLearning Accessibility

WCAG 2.1-compliant eLearning courses localized across multiple languages: screen reader compatible, captioned, ARIA-tagged, and delivered as accessible SCORM and xAPI packages for all major LMS platforms.
Multilingual Captioning and Audio Description
Accessible video in any language
Video captions translated and re-synchronized across target languages. Audio descriptions recorded by native speakers. Compliant with WCAG 1.2 time-based media requirements across all language variants.
Four Regulatory Reasons Multilingual Accessibility Is Not Optional
Accessible multilingual content is a legal requirement from four distinct directions, each applying to a different set of organizations.
Executive Order 13166: LEP Compliance
Applies to: All recipients of federal financial assistance
EO 13166 requires federal agencies and all recipients of federal financial assistance to provide meaningful access for people with Limited English Proficiency, covering hospitals, universities, legal aid organizations, and state agencies receiving federal funding. Their translated content must also be accessible under ADA and Section 508, making both obligations apply simultaneously.
European Accessibility Act: Multilingual by Design
Applies to: All companies selling digital products or services in EU member states
The EAA requires accessible digital content across all 27 EU member states, each with its own national language. ARIA labels, alt text, and accessible names must be in each target language, and HTML lang attributes must be correct per language variant. No accessibility firm without multilingual capability can deliver EAA compliance for multi-country organizations.
Section 508: Federal Multilingual Content
Applies to: US federal agencies and contractors
Federal agencies must provide Section 508-compliant content and serve LEP populations under EO 13166. Every translated website, document, or digital file must be Section 508 compliant in the target language, not just in English. Federal contractors producing multilingual content face the same requirement.
ADA and International Laws: Global Reach
Applies to: Businesses, healthcare organizations, educational institutions, and public entities
The ADA requires equal digital access for all users, including those with disabilities who communicate in languages other than English. Equivalent requirements exist in Canada, Australia, the UK, and across EU member states, creating compliance obligations for any organization with a global digital presence.

Who Needs Multilingual Accessibility Services
From federal agencies to global enterprises, the need for accessible multilingual content spans industries and regulatory contexts.
Federal Government & Contractors
Federal agencies must meet Section 508 and serve LEP populations under Executive Order 13166. Every translated website or document must be Section 508 compliant in the target language, across 200+ languages.
Healthcare
Hospitals serving multilingual patients must provide accessible content in required languages: patient rights documents, consent forms, healthcare portals, and public health materials, with LEP and accessibility obligations applying simultaneously.
Higher Education
Universities with international students must provide accessible content in native languages across course materials, administrative communications, student portals, and LMS platforms.
EU-Market Businesses
Companies selling digital products or services across EU member states must meet EAA requirements in every national language they publish. Ulatus delivers WCAG-compliant content across all required European languages in a single engagement.
Legal & Social Services
Legal aid organizations and social service providers receiving federal funding must provide LEP-compliant, accessible translated content. Court documents, benefit applications, and legal notices require both accurate translation and full compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Multilingual accessibility services combine digital accessibility compliance (WCAG, Section 508, ADA, EAA) with multilingual translation in a single integrated workflow, so websites, documents, eLearning, and multimedia are both compliant and available in any required language. Ulatus delivers this combination at scale across 200+ languages.
Standard translation strips the accessibility layer: alt text stays in the source language, ARIA labels are not translated, the HTML lang attribute is not updated, RTL reading order is not configured, and document tags are stripped during export. The result is content that appears correct visually but is inaccessible to screen reader users in the target language.
You can, but every time source content is updated and retranslated, the accessibility work must be redone from scratch. Integrating translation and remediation in a single pass delivers every language version accessible from the outset and is significantly more cost-effective for large or ongoing content programs.
Executive Order 13166 requires all US federal agencies and recipients of federal financial assistance to provide meaningful access for people with Limited English Proficiency. This covers hospitals, universities, legal aid organizations, and state agencies receiving federal funding, all of whom must also provide accessible translated content.
The EAA requires accessible digital content across all 27 EU member states, each with its own national language. ARIA labels, alt text, button text, and HTML lang attributes must be correct for every country-specific page variant. No accessibility firm without multilingual capability can achieve EAA compliance for multi-country organizations.
We support 200+ languages, including all major European languages for EAA compliance, the top US LEP languages (Spanish, Chinese, Vietnamese, Korean, Tagalog, Arabic, French, Haitian Creole, Portuguese, Russian), and RTL languages including Arabic, Hebrew, Urdu, and Farsi.
RTL languages require the PDF tag tree reading order reversed, dir="rtl" and bidirectional text handling in HTML, and ARIA attributes reflecting RTL sequence. Our RTL language specialists handle both translation and accessibility configuration simultaneously, ensuring correct results for Arabic, Hebrew, Urdu, and Farsi content.
Section 508 compliant translation delivers translated content that meets Section 508 requirements in the target language, not just in English. Ulatus serves federal agencies and contractors who must provide accessible multilingual content for LEP populations under Executive Order 13166, with every file tested for conformance before delivery.
We support PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, InDesign, ePub, HTML websites and web applications, eLearning modules (SCORM, xAPI), video content (captions and audio descriptions), and mobile applications.
Yes. We are ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certified for information security, work under NDA, and have handled sensitive multilingual content for government, legal, healthcare, and financial clients globally.
