<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif;color:#1F497D;background:white">Are there any researchers on here who are working on Libras? I have stumbled across two tools (see below) for translating the language pair Portuguese – Libras. As
a researcher with no background in either language but with a keen interest in sign language generation and Sign language linguistics, I am interested to see how these tools perform. English publications on both products seem to be thin on the ground.
