8. Simple language with a helper tool

There is a help function on our website.

This feature is called: Plain Language.

She comes from the company Eye-Able.

This function makes it easier to display text.


Here's how the help works:

  • Click on the "Plain Language" icon
  • You will find this symbol in the top left corner of every page.

  • The text will then automatically become easier to understand.

Important to know:

Plain language is an automatic offering.

This is not exactly the same as Plain Language.

Plain language is written by people.
And often checked as well.
