...but there are exceptions.
Proz continues to squander the goodwill of its members by misusing the poll feature. Of late, poll questions are beating that AI dead horse to second death or are inane, irrelevant or poorly framed.
Today's poll question takes the cake because it manages to be all of that. Prove to us that you can do better, Proz!

that I understand the question - and why it was asked.
Will see in few months time if my guess was right about the apparent nonsense possibly making sense after all.

That word salad beats its inventor! Boy, oh boy, how many scoundrels and pseudo "thinkers" made obscene money on all that nonsense. They sure know how to catch the wave.

It is disappointing, to say the very least, to see that numerous contributors to this thread have failed (apparently...) to make the connection between the poll question's reference to localization for the benefit of 'audiences with different abilities' and services that are offered here on Proz by a number of colleagues, such as audio description (AD) for the blind and partially-sighted, and subtitling for the deaf and hard-of-hearing (SDH).

It is also disappointing to note that AD and SDH are not listed in the Proz Directory as filters for finding specialists in these fields.

I’m afraid both of these services are severely taken by AI, especially subtitling. But even human voice generators (text to speech), have been extensively trained.
I think people reacted because of the way the question is worded. Can we get a link/evidence this is true? Most socials have accessibility features, I know for sure Apple devices have plenty of them that can be projected and used on socials.
