For each downloading file, specify the name, type and size (and language if different from the language of the page)

When the content includes links for downloading files, the following information should be included in the link text:

  • Document title.
  • Document type.
  • Size of document.
  • Document language (if it is different from the main page language).

Usually, the publishing software automatically adds the size and type of files that are published. For internal documents, simply check that this information is displayed once the content is published.

To be customized

Delete the previous paragraph if the publishing software automatically adds the document format and size to the link text when files are published.

For example, if the link “Toronto travel guide” leads to a PDF file weighing 346 kb, the link text can be optimized to show “Toronto travel guide (PDF, 346 kb)”.
If the link “Toronto travel guide” leads to a PDF file in French, weighing 346 kb, the link text can be optimized to show “Toronto travel guide (PDF, 346 kb, in French)”.
