<div dir="ltr">Hello,<br>
<br>
Many of the words I entered in sign puddle using sign studio are
not displayed in the translate feature.<br>
Only the words are displayed without sign.<br>
However, with a seach on the same words, the sign is displayed.<br>

Hi Andre,<br>
<br>
The translate feature works with individual signs that were created
in SignMaker. <br>
<br>
The translate feature does not work with sign texts that were
created with SignText.<br>
<br>
Looking at the "assis" entry:<br>
<a rel="nofollow" class="yiv9907572040moz-txt-link-freetext" target="_blank" href="http://www.signbank.org/signpuddle2.0/canvas.php?ui=1&sgn=47&sid=4400">http://www.signbank.org/signpuddle2.0/canvas.php?ui=1&sgn=47&sid=4400</a><br>
<br>

<br>
The sign is boxed and a lower font size. This indicates it was
created with SignText. Under the "Source", you can see the
"SignText data" links. This sign will not work in the current
translate.<br>
<br>
Here is "assistant" in the same dictionary.<br>
<br>

<br>
Notice that it is not boxed and a larger font size. This indicates
is was created with SignMaker. Under the "Search.." links, you can
see the "Sign data" links. This sign will work in translate.<br>
<br>
<br>
So that's the problem. You say you created this with "sign
studio". Are you talking about Jonathan's SignWriter Studio? Or
did you use SignText?<br>
<br>
The solution is to move the signs from the sign text area to
individual signs. I'm not sure the best way to do this.<br>
<br>
How many entries are like this?<br>
<br>
Regards,
