SignWriting List April 15, 2001 Dear SignWriting List, and Hector and Margarita... Happy Easter, Happy Passover, and Happy Sunday! Thank you for your introduction, Hector and Margarita, and welcome to the SignWriting List. I am happy to know that you are from the country of Colombia! Back in 1998, another Colombian was a member of the SignWriting List: Carlos Thompson Carlos is a computer programmer who was interested in developing software for SignWriting. I do not believe he is a member of the List any longer, but you might contact Carlos, to see what information he has on SignWriting in Colombia. Yes...We can definitely create a Colombian version of the SignWriter Computer Program. There are three sections to the job: 1. Fingerspelling Keyboard 2. Spoken Language Translations 3. Dictionaries Regarding 1. Fingerspelling Keyboard... Can you create a Fingerspelling SGN file for me, Hector? Please type all the handshapes used in Colombian Fingerspelling (with the SignWriter Computer Program), and then send the SGN file to the SignWriting List. How do you do that? The Fingerspelling document you type with SignWriter will have a name....Let us pretend you name your document "Finger"....Then you will find the file listed as FINGER.SGN in your directory. "SGN" means a "sign document". Attach the file "FINGER.SGN" to an email message and send it to the SW List. Or, create a .GIF or .JPEG and post your Fingerspelling diagram to the SignWriting List... Either way is fine. If you do not know how to do this, write again and we will help you! And Themis from Greece...could you also send us your Greek Fingerspelling SGN file? Many thanks! With those files, I can create a special Fingerspelling Keyboard for both Colombia and Greece ;-) -- Val ;-> ----------------------------- Valerie Sutton SignWritingSite: https://www.SignWriting.org SignWriting List Archives: https://groups.yahoo.com/group/sw-l/ To post a message to the SW List: |
