tried using the community dictionary. I opened SignMaker, made a sign, and hit
"add to dictionary". On the screen, all I saw was the sign I had added, but
there was no place to name it or add definitions, and no special
commands.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

thought perhaps this was because I hadn't logged in. I tried logging in under my
name and password for SignPuddle 1.0, but that didn't work. How can I log
in, and how can I add signs to the dictionary? I really want to try adding a
definition in Japanese to show the people I'm working with.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

beta<BR><BR></DIV></FONT></FONT>Hi Val,<BR><BR>The langauge list is
ridiculously long. Eventually, this list will be dictionary
specific. So each dictionary can decide what langauges they want to
use.<BR><BR>When you looked at the signs you added, you should have noticed 2
columns of special commands.<BR><BR>The first column is for anyone: Customize,
Search, and Copy.<BR><BR>The second column is for editors and sign
owners. Since you created the sign, you own the sign and can use the
editing commands: Edit, Spelling, Labels, and Delete These editing
commands work directly on the existing sign. <BR><BR>Edit - load the
sign into SignMaker.<BR>Spelling - open the sign spelling window so you can
modify the spelling.<BR>Labels - open the sign labels window for changing the
labels text.<BR><BR>Since I'm an editor for the dictionary, I was able to
modify your English label for "twelve". <BR><BR>Val's Label:<BR>12.
twelve.<BR><BR>New Label:<BR>12<BR>twelve<BR> hidden text here<BR><BR>If
you search for 12 and display the results in words, you will notice that "12"
and "twelve" each appear as unique items. The original English label,
"12. twelve." would have appeared as one item. <BR><BR>Notice that "
hidden text here" doesn't appear in the list because it starts with a
space. This is a technique for hiding text, but still making it
searchable. I will probably change this so that it is easier to hide
text from the words list.<BR><BR>-Steve<BR><BR><BR>Valerie Sutton wrote:

<BLOCKQUOTE type="cite">For now, when labeling a sign, only spoken
langauges are available. Unicode is supported, but I haven't tested
it yet. The Labels field can be used for terms, definitions or
anything else. Each phrase should have it's own line in the labels
field. This allows you to have more than one label per langauge per
sign.<BR></BLOCKQUOTE>
<DIV><BR class=khtml-block-placeholder></DIV></DIV>
<DIV>Is the SignPuddle Community dictionary a multi-lingual dictionary that
takes one sign, and then gives the definitions for that one sign, in
multiple spoken languages?</DIV>
<DIV><BR class=khtml-block-placeholder></DIV>
<DIV>That is very exciting...</DIV>
<DIV><BR class=khtml-block-placeholder></DIV>
<DIV>So how do you differentiate the individual gloss-word that you use to
find a sign, and the long phrase that might be associated with that
sign?</DIV>
<DIV><BR class=khtml-block-placeholder></DIV>
<DIV>When I used the pull-down menu, to choose the spoken language I wanted
to use, the pull-down menu included spoken languages that are no longer
spoken...like Middle English (used in 1500s) and Ancient Greek
(smile)...which no one speaks today!</DIV>
<DIV><BR class=khtml-block-placeholder></DIV>
<DIV>So can you eliminate the spoken languages that are not used any longer?
The pull-down menu is too long and I could not hold the mouse down that long
because my hand started to hurt...smile...</DIV>
<DIV><BR class=khtml-block-placeholder></DIV>
<DIV>But generally this is a very interesting idea, because most signs are
used in different countries, but oftentimes have different meanings...like
the sign for COOK in ASL can mean TRANSLATE A LANGUAGE.... in Danish Sign
Language etc...
