CREATING A SIGNBANK DICTIONARY 6
I just chose "Insert Picture"...to continue....

1. I then find the name of the file I want to insert, which in this case is the sign for "ein" in German Sign Language. I choose that GIF, and the sign is now inserted into SignBank. It has replaced the American sign.

2. I then change the English word from "one" to the German word "ein"

3. I change the SignSpelling in the SignSpelling column to lookup under the new handshape.

4. I then click "SaveSignSpelling" and then click "SortDictionary by SSS" (those icons are now in German of course).

We now have one German sign mixed in with a bunch of American signs - ha! See attached:
