The Translate Feature needs signs that have been written in SignPuddle. It cannot search for a jpg.</div><div><br></div><div>But if you want to add a jpg....</div><div><br></div><div>You could add each jpg individually as an "illustration". Jpgs are like illustrations. They are not the same as the signs that are written in SignPuddle from the beginning. Jpgs cannot give you SWML. They are considered pictures by the computer, rather than "text"...so it is best that you write everything again in SignPuddle, but if you need to place the jpgs in SignPuddle as illustrations, you can do that....</div><div><br></div><div>1. Login to your private puddle</div><div>2. Create a new sign by clicking on SignMaker, and you don't have to write a new sign...just click on the Add to SignPuddle button. Give the blank sign a name.</div><div>3. This gives you a blank new sign.</div><div>4. Click on the Upload File Button (it is one of the buttons on the right of the screen)</div><div>5. Browse your computer to find the jpg you want to upload.</div><div>6. Once you have found the path to the illustration (your jpg) you want to insert, push the Upload Button near the path again.</div><div>7. Your jpg will appear as an illustration...</div><div><br></div><div>There is Video Instruction that shows how to add an illustration:</div><div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; "><a href="http://www.signbank.org/signpuddle/help/SignPuddle15VideoUS/SignPuddle15_Video18.html">http://www.signbank.org/signpuddle/help/SignPuddle15VideoUS/SignPuddle15_Video18.html</a></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; "><br></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; ">Here is an example pasting a graphic sign, as an illustration:</div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; "><br></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; "><div><div><img height="476" width="536" apple-width="yes" apple-height="yes" src="cid:AA48C60A-A549-491E-BC18-678E2A7D5D7E"></div></div></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; "><br></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; "><br></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; "><br></div></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br><div><div>On May 26, 2008, at 2:41 AM, MARIA AZZOPARDI wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite">Hi Steve,<br>First of all well done for all the work you have and continue to put into<br>SignPuddle.
