Hi André, <br>
Way back I wrote a program called ASL List that did exactly what
you want but it was limited it only had so many signs. So I decided
to and SignWriting to it and then came about SignWriter Studio. <br>
<br>
Presently that feature isn't working but I will work on that next
now that someone else is also interested!!! <br>

Hello Valerie,<br>
I would like to know how to create a paper dictionary (like a
book) by importing ALL LSQ signs from sign puddle. I could show
that to collegue students, interpreters and use it myself.<br>
<br>
Also, can we develop a technical dictionary (like for a student
electrician) that will also be part of the main dictionary?<br>
Would there be a way to gather a pdf subset of the
main dictionary that the student could share with several
interpreters working with him-her?<br>

<div>Hello Andre, and Andre, Steve and Jonathan!</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>So ….we have some wonderful software that needs to be
better coordinated - but both programs by themselves work
well. Right now, Steve needs to complete the new SinPuddle 3
and get it uploaded, because it also contains new features
that everyone wants, and it has taken longer than expected
to complete the software…</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Regarding creating your own dictionaries, there is not
only SignWriter Studio, but also the PersonalPuddle, and
Private Web Puddles, and you can also use SignPuddle Online
and label your signs as yours in the Source and those signs
could always be transferred to SignWriter Studio maybe? can
one reverse the process? - ha! In time, all these programs
will work well together I am sure…both Jonathan and Steve
work for very little pay and are working hard to make the
programs work well -</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>So for now, I would either use the workaround that
Jonathan suggested, or edit the signs in SignText, not
SignMaker… let me test this myself - I am sorry I have not
done that yet -</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>SignBank would not work with this because it has not been
updated for years but I want to update it in the future -</div>

Hello Jonathan,<br>
<br>
thank you for the work around.<br>
I will try it this weekend.<br>
I will try to contact Steve to assist me because I
have over a hundred signs to process.<br>
I have many more signs in draft in SignWriter
studio.<br>
<br>
Also, I tried sign bank 85 but I could never upload
the Québec Sign language files I copied from Sign
puddle, so I gave up. I would have like to build a
dictionnary.<br>

Hi Andre,<br>
When exporting from SignWriter Studio to Sign
Puddle there is no way to directly to a SignMaker
entry. This is a limitation of SignPuddle. I have
run into this limitation myself personally trying
to add and modify sign to the puddle from
SignWriter Studio. SignPuddle doesn't yet have
adequate import/export or synching capabilities.
I have written to Steve about it but he hasn't
been able to make it a priority yet.<br>
If you just have a few signs then this is they way
to do it.<br>
<ol>
<li>In SignWriter Studio when positioned on the
sign, click Edit/Copy/Copy Sign to Sign Puddle
or press Ctrl-Alt-C. It shows the sign in
SignPuddle in your browser.</li>
<li>Click on the puddle you want to save to.</li>
<li>In Terms type "temp"</li>
<li>Click Add</li>
<li>Click Copy Sign From SignText</li>
<li>Click Copy Sign</li>
<li>Click on SignPuddle you want to save to</li>
<li>In Terms type in the term for the sign</li>
<li>Click Add</li>
<li>Click on Search by Words or Search by Signs</li>
<li>In Terms and Titles type "temp"</li>
<li>Click on temp</li>
<li>Click Delete Entry</li>
<li>Click Delete Entry</li>
</ol>
<br>
<br>
Otherwise you might ask Steve if you export to an
SPML file if he can add them for you.<br>
<br>
I hope his helps<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Jonathan<br>

<div>No worries everyone. Thank you for your
messages. And thank you for bringing this
issue up, which as far as I know, from my
experience, is specific between the two
programs: SignWriter Studio and SignPuddle. I
noticed this issue myself a long time ago and
did mention it once to Jonathan, but there is
so much to do it got sidetracked. It seems
that exporting signs from the SignWriter
Studio dictionary end up as SignText in
SignPuddle instead of dictionary entries…so
the signs are not made with SignMaker, but
instead with SignWriter Studio's dictionary,
but they need to end up as the equivalent to
signs made with SignMaker… not as SignText …so
we need both Jonathan's and Steve's help with
this one -</div>

Hi Andre,<br>

The translate feature works

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>
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>
