The institutional signature appears in both official languages on the welcome page.
The domain name of the welcome page includes elements or acronyms in English and in French or is a term with the same meaning and spelling.
The greeting or other introductory text appears on the welcome page in both official languages in the prescribed order and navigation links marked "English" and "Français" are provided so that users can choose the official language in which to access content.
Within the site, each page includes a navigation link marked "English" or "Français" that enables users to access the equivalent page in the other official language.
The values of metadata elements and attributes for any given Web page are expressed in the official language(s) used on the page. Optionally, other languages may also be used. This requirement does not apply to element names, attribute names or any values expressed as standardized codes.
An office or facility of an institution that posts information or whose information is posted on a site on its behalf ensures that the English and French versions are posted simultaneously; the texts are of equal quality in both official languages; any change made in one version is simultaneously reflected in the other version; the encoding schemes and pathways support the use of diacritics. Clear information is posted on the site concerning the encoding schemes used for files or documents containing diacritics. The use of all the necessary diacritics is an essential criterion when evaluating the quality of both official languages.
An office or facility of an institution that provides a hyperlink to a unilingual site clearly informs users that the content of the site is not available in both official languages.
The text equivalents and other non-textual elements used to describe the purpose and functions of images and graphics displayed on a page of a Web site are in the language of that page.
Server messages are in the language of the page consulted on a Web site or, if the technology cannot offer a language choice for server messages, the messages are in both official languages.

Meet
The institutional signature appears in both official languages on the welcome page.
The welcome page includes a bilingual message indicating that, under the OLA, the site provides information in one official language only. This message also informs users of a hyperlink to another site of the same institution that provides general information in both official languages.
If the welcome page of a unilingual site contains a navigation link, the link is labelled with a term such as "Content" or "Access" and not with the name of the official language of the office or facility using the site (i.e., "English" or "Français").
The greeting and other introductory text appearing on the welcome pages are in the official language of the site.

If a Web site is required to be in both official languages and other languages are used on that site in addition to English and French: the information is at a minimum in both official languages; the equality of status of English and French is respected; and each page in a language that is not one of the two official languages has navigation links marked "English" and "Français" that provide users with access to the equivalent pages in each of the two official languages.
