Accessibility

“Jena für dich” is intended to be usable by as many people as possible – including people with little German, with visual impairments or on small screens. Here you will find an honest account of what the app and the website support today and where there are still limitations.

What the app supports

• 11 languages: German, English, Ukrainian, Russian, Polish, Turkish, Arabic, Persian, Chinese, Japanese and Vietnamese. Arabic and Persian are displayed from right to left.
• Text size: In the settings, the text can be enlarged in steps from 100% to 200%.
• Light or dark appearance: selectable in the settings or automatically according to the device’s system setting.
• Less motion: If “Reduce Motion” is switched on on the device, the app does without animations.
• Map and list: Places can be found not only on the map but also as a list and via the search.
• Without internet: The map and the emergency and help numbers work offline; numbers can be called with a single tap.

What the website supports

• A “Skip to content” link takes you directly to the main content when navigating with the keyboard.
• If “Reduce motion” is switched on in the operating system, animations are reduced.
• The website does not set any cookies; no cookie banner appears.

Known limitations

• No formal assessment under BITV 2.0 (the German Accessible Information Technology Ordinance) or WCAG has taken place – nor any testing with screen readers on all devices. I therefore do not declare conformity with these standards.
• The website is available in the same 11 languages as the app. For the legal texts, only the German version is legally binding; the other languages are translations for information purposes.
• The map itself is a graphic. Anyone who cannot use it will find the same places in the list and via the search.
• Linked pages of authorities and institutions are not my responsibility; I cannot influence their accessibility.
