<DIV>Hello Andre and Everyone -</DIV>
<DIV>I have read your question below. I believe your question is: "how can we
translate a SignPuddle literature document from a sign language to a spoken
language?" In other words, you want to be able to know what the signs in a
document mean in the spoken language of the country…</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Here is how I would do that. In this example, I entered the Quebec
Literature Puddle and chose the document entitled Lait:</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Deaf-Blind Quebec Literature: Lait</DIV>
<DIV><A
href="http://www.signbank.org/signpuddle2.0/latest.php?total=9">http://www.signbank.org/signpuddle2.0/latest.php?total=9</A></DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Let us imagine I do not understand what the second sign means in the
first sentence….I click on the "chercher par les symbols" button on the far
left of the screen (the Search by Symbols button).</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV><IMG id=23549496-f852-4afd-8bb5-175081300dea
src="cid:3CB0C1400D0141D59CE01C5416857060@ANDRE2" width=733 height=343
apple-height="yes" apple-width="yes"></DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>To translate back….in other words…for me to find out what the second sign
means in the attached document, I open "Search by Symbols" and put in the
handshape and movement symbols into the SignBox and press Search…and it should
find the sign in the dictionary and I can read what the sign means…</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>We do not have an automatic "translate back" feature…no one has ever
requested that before…but you can do it sign by sign using the Search by
Symbols feature. I will send you more instruction soon…</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Val ;-)</DIV>

<DIV>Hi Val and everyone,<BR><BR><BR><BR> You
know that many people use a translation option from the dictionary in
SignPuddle. They write English into the translation box, translate from
English to ASL signs, and then save this into the US literature. There is
then one document in the US literature. Later, other people may want to read
this document in the US literature. But they might not understand some
signs. They then want to translate back from ASL signs to English
words in the same document.<BR><BR><BR><BR> I have a
question. How do people translate back from ASL signs to English words
in the document (US literature)?<BR><BR><BR><BR> For
example: suppose there are 20 signs in a document in the US
literature, and that people don't understand 6 signs in the same document.
For clarification, they may want to tranlate back from 20 signs to 20
English words. They then could look at 6 English words which could help them
understand.<BR><BR><BR><BR>Best
