The main change is that in WCAG 2.2, one success criteria (4.1.1 Parsing) is obsolete. Notes added to WCAG 2.1 and WCAG 2.0 errata address this, as explained in [WCAG 2 FAQ, 4.1.1 Parsing](/standards-guidelines/wcag/faq/#parsing411). WCAG 2.2 also includes Notes about different languages; more information is in [WCAG 2 FAQ, internationalization](/standards-guidelines/wcag/faq/#i18n22). +Vitu vichache vimebadilika, na tunakusudia sasisho katika nyaraka husika kuunga mkono kuendana na matoleo ya nyuma katika vitendo. Mabadiliko makuu ni kwamba katika WCAG 2.2, kigezo kimoja cha mafanikio (4.1.1 Uchanganuzi) kimepitwa na wakati. Maelezo yaliyoongezwa kwenye WCAG 2.1 na WCAG 2.0 errata yanashughulikia hili, kama ilivyoelezwa katika [Maswali Yanayoulizwa Mara kwa Mara ya WCAG 2, 4.1.1 Uchanganuzi](/standards-guidelines/wcag/faq/#parsing411).
