Audiovisual accessibility is considered as a basic right. In a world where audiovisual material is more and more present, several measures have been taken in order to facilitate the access to it by people living with sensory disabilities; some of them at the regulatory level and others at the technological level. As a part of a wider project, this article addresses the issue of the accessibility to the audiovisual material from another perspective: that of the small languages. From this point of view, language is a barrier which prevents potential viewers from watching cinema in small languages. This is a major concern especially in contexts where dubbing is the norm for language-transfer. This paper presents and discusses some results of the analysis of the regulation and practices of audiovisual accessibility, as well as the outcome of some experiments conducted by applying the technology for the audiovisual accessibility in the field of the linguistic accessibility. The case of cinema in Basque language is considered for this purpose.

Over the past decade, subtitles have developed along with broadcast and broadband technology. Viewers nowadays enjoy new opportunities to customize subtitles to best meet their personal preferences or needs. This study aims to identify end-user subtitle setting preferences, to investigate whether these settings have an effect on content comprehension, and to explore subtitle usability for two groups of participants, those under the age of 65 and those over 65. In an experiment, three subtitle features were open to customization: the position, the box and the size of the subtitle, before and after participants watched an on-demand TV documentary produced by the Catalan public broadcaster TVC. Results confirm a preference for bottom and medium subtitles. Furthermore, while the under 65 segment made satisfactory use of the system, the over 65 segment experienced different levels of usability and reported different capabilities and problems.
