sign language parsing

[Angus B. Grieve-Smith]

        Galini, I don't think I was clear about what bothers me.  I don't
have a problem with technology and sign language; in fact, I am working on
a sign synthesis project, SignSynth
(http://www.unm.edu/~grvsmth/signsynth/), and I wrote a pilot English-ASL
machine language program (http://www.unm.edu/~grvsmth/portfolio/).

        Plain and simple, you don't need to have machine translation for
sign synthesis.  There doesn't need to be any Greek (or Bengali, or
Quechua) in your project at all.  Just store the signs in HamNoSys/GML or
SignWriting/SWML.
