Hello Anny and Everyone!
Thanks for this question. Stephen will be on vacation over the Easter 
holiday. I am not sure if he is still online or not? smile....If not, 
then we may have to wait...I can tell you that this worked for me, but 
now I realize that the reason it worked is that I am a Dictionary 
Editor for ALL the SignPuddles in all countries...so maybe you will 
have to become an editor of BOTH the ASL SignPuddle and the 
French-Swiss SignPuddles to be able to do this...I am not sure...

So here is my suggestion...Let's first try it in the reverse....Login 
as a Dictionary Editor of your own French-Swiss SignPuddle and search 
for a sign...there should be a screen that looks like the attached 
diagram...see the Copy button? click on that and then see if you can 
paste it into the ASL SignPuddle...don't worry...I can delete it 
later...see if this works, Anny and write again...If this works, I can 
invite you to become an ASL editor and that will work for you until 
Stephen can help us after Easter...

Directions:
- On the Dictionary Editors screen, search for a sign
- Find the right sign from the list and press Copy
- Pick a flag on the bottom of the page
- On the top-left, click the Paste button. (kind of hidden and will go 
away in time)
