Dear Valerie and colleagues,
   
Yesterday the first Flemish Sign Language - Dutch / Dutch - Flemish 
Sign Language dictionary was launched. It is an on-line basic 
dictionary which contains over 2000 Dutch entries and over 6000 signs 
from Flemish Sign Language (VGT) (including regional variants). The 
signs can be read through SignWriting and can be seen as moving 
pictures (although not all of the films are ready yet; they are being 
added on a daily basis). You can search the dictionary in two 
directions: from the Dutch written word or from the Flemish Sign 
Language sign (with a search platform based on SignWriting). 
 
At the moment everything is still in Dutch and/or VGT, but information 
in English will be added shortly. 
 
The website can be found at: http://gebaren.ugent.be and can be 
accessed freely.
