Accessibility rules
Am I right that "Watermark" is the same as "alt text" or "caption" : A text shown in screenreaders for blind or visually impaired visitors of the site.

Re: Accessibility rules
No a "Watermark" is used to protect the image against the likes of theft of the photo and protect copyright ownership. It can be text or a logo that is embedded (becomes part of it) into the photo. The alt tag is then applied to the photo itself for as you mentioned accessibility issues and for screen readers to aid visually impaired users when the mouse is over.Am I right that "Watermark" is the same as "alt text" or "caption"

Re: Accessibility rules
Using a German language file, I do not find "Description" nor the German equivalent "Beschreibung". I send you a screenshot so that you can tell me which line it is:

Re: Accessibility rules
I always thought it was known as ALT text (short for alternative).

Re: Accessibility rules
@ AliGW it is but in this instance the OP (Kantonia) is using the German version of the software so that it shows 'Description' is 'Anderer text" and when used it gets applied to the "alt" as well.
