Hi Andrew
I'm a bit confused, maybe check your screen reader because the site of
the Sensotec Reporter I emailed to the list is the English site, I was
talking about the magazine article I can't find that's in Dutch. If
you have your screenreader set to detect language changes, maybe
switch that setting off, because it could be that even though the site
is actually in English, it is written using code of another language.
If you're still having a problem, ask a sighted person to try read it.
I'm sorry, I just can't think what the problem you might be having
could be because the link in the email is to the english version of
the site.
Ari
