April 28, 1999 Thanks, Ingvild, for this great message. The other day I was going through some old papers, and I found a copy of several of your translations into Norwegian. And sure enough... I found a copy of your Norwegian translation of the SignWriter manuals, and also your Norwegian textbook on SignWriting - what a lot of work you have done! The books are great :-) For those of you on the SignWriting List who may not be aware, SignWriting has been used in two schools in Norway since 1988. For more information, you can read about it on the web: SignWriting In Norway https://www.SignWriting.org/sw113.html Best - Valerie >~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ > >From: "Ingvild Kristine Roald" >Organization: UiB >To: SignWriting >Date: Tue, 20 Apr 1999 12:52:11 +0000 >Subject: SignWriter manuals in Norwegian > >Hi all, > >yesterday Valerie said that the commands on spoken languages other >than English were only on the screen, not in manuals.
