|
Everyone - I just wanted to mention that I know how hard it might be to find signs for computer terms in some signed languages. Not every signed language has computer vocabulary developed. If that is the case in your country, that is OK. We can still have the spoken language of your country represented in the Menus, or you will be able to navigate through SignWriter with the International Icons. And then there is the issue of fingerspelling computer terms - in the USA a lot of the terms are fingerspelled, but I chose actual signs, knowing full well I probably will be criticized. On the other hand, no other computer program (that I know of), offers menus written in signed languages, so I know we are pioneering new ground. In a few days I will post the ASL Menus that I have at the moment, and maybe you can give me some advice...
