The term "impairments" may not be the language that attendees prefer to use. For example, some attendees may prefer "hard of hearing" versus "hearing impaired." See: "How are the terms deaf, deafened, hard of hearing, and hearing impaired typically used?" from University of Washington

Hi @sa778888 I'm not 100% a fan of assigning issues until there is a bit more details of how things would work. This is a fairly large issue that will require a system for checking and updating the content.

I know @tkoyama010 has added language translations to numfocus/elections#15. Additionally @parharti has mentioned working on language translation.

Perhaps the an approach can be decided here before we rush off and assign it to a single person.
