Certain user interface elements have not been named. The content and functionality in the dialogue boxes is not announced correctly via assistive technologies. The language selection does not work correctly. The structure and content of the calendar is not announced correctly via assistive technologies.  (WCAG 1.3.1, 4.1.2, 4.1.3)
