2.1.1 Keyboard, Implementation solutions for 2.1.1 This applies directly as written, and as described in Intent from Understanding Success Criterion 2.1.1.

Note 1:

Keyboard interface does not refer to a physical device but to the interface between the software and any keyboard or keyboard substitute (i.e., an interface where the software accepts text or other keystroke input)...

Note 2:

This success criterion does not imply that software always needs to directly support a keyboard or "keyboard interface”. Nor does it imply that software always needs to provide a virtual keyboard.

This applies directly as written and as described in Intent from Understanding Success Criterion 2.4.4.

Note:

In software, a "link" is any text string or image in the user interface outside a user interface control that behaves like a hypertext link. This does not include general user interface controls or buttons. (An OK button, for example, would not be a link.)

3.1.1 Language of Page, Implementation solutions for 3.1.1 Applies to application as a whole rather than individual screens

This applies directly as written, and as described in Intent from Understanding Success Criterion 3.1.1 replacing "each web page" with "non-web documents or software”.

Note 1:

Where software platforms provide a "locale / language" setting, applications that use that setting and render their interface in that "locale / language" would comply with this success criterion. Applications that do not use the platform "locale / language" setting but instead use an accessibility-supported method for exposing the human language of the software would also comply with this success criterion. Applications implemented in technologies where assistive technologies cannot determine the human language and that do not support the platform "locale / language" setting may not be able to meet this success criterion in that locale / language.
