I just finished a long meeting with our programmer, and we decided to offer ALL options. People can choose to navigate with international icons if they wish, but they will also be able to choose to read their Menus in Signs, Words or Signs & Words. So we came to the same conclusion you did, which is to provide complete flexibility. And thanks for the programming explanation...I will pass it on to Rich. It may be very useful to him. I am entering the "Menus in Words" for 9 spoken languages this week. Rich taught me how to do it. And it seems quite simple. Java is a very flexible programming language, which is perfect for SignWriter 5.0. And Java is becoming faster now. It has improved in the past year and a half, which is good news. Hope everyone is doing well - More soon - Valerie :-) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Valerie Sutton SignWriting https://www.SignWriting.org The DAC, Deaf Action Committee for SW Center For Sutton Movement Writing an educational nonprofit organization Box 517, La Jolla, CA, 92038-0517, USA ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | ||||||||||||
