ACT requires formats for storing rules to be able to contain human-readable text and be accessible (e.g., HTML, DOCX or PDF), but does not require that they are localizable. (Or does ‘accessible’ implies being localizable?)

Hi @bert-github

Certainly I think it was the intent to make internationalization easier by having the format be accessible. But I think we could clarify this more.

What about changing:

In addition to supporting people with disabilities, using an accessible format also makes internationalization of ACT Rules easier.

In addition to supporting people with disabilities, using an accessible and localizable format also makes internationalization of ACT Rules easier.

Would this change solve this issue?

We are open to other ways we can clarify this, though.
