Our programmer has now installed the international user-interface for SignWriter 5.0 on my computer here in our office. Now I have the job of writing the different languages in SignWriting, and designing the icons. Then I will install them in the Menus. Then I can test the new Menus, by opening SignWriter 5.0. to see if I like the way the Menus look. If not, I can go back and change them, until they look their best. Our programmer is still working on making it possible for me to add Menus in Chinese...so we are not done with the user interface yet. This has been much more work than I expected, but on the other hand, it is looking good, and well worth it in the long run :-) In regards to the SignWriting courses on the internet, Joe, I am glad to see that you might be interested later. At this moment there is so much to do, that my head is spinning...but perhaps later this Fall, I can try to design a small SW internet course, and see if anyone signs up for it. At that time I will inform the List, and you never know - there may be interest! Valerie ;-) |
