Technical information about accessibility

Non-accessible content and features
- There are some repetitive headings on the site, and the name of the site is in a foreign language. Some of the fields, buttons and visual elements have English names or labels. (WCAG 2.4.6)
- Some of the link texts are non-descriptive. (WCAG 2.4.4)
- Some decorative images on the site are not coded as decorative. (WCAG 1.1.1)
