Sign Writting

[Stuart Thiessen]

That is the challenge of changing documentation. That's why I'm not  
saying "must" change. :)

I agree that "Translate" can be a handy feature for quick sentences or  
quick SW examples. I am more concerned for those who are not aware of  
the distinction than for those of us who are aware. Too many hearing  
people think that Sign Language is just the spoken language on the  
hands, and so could "abuse" the feature thinking they are writing true  
Sign Language.

A disclaimer would be a good idea, and then you can schedule in the  
change in wording for the next version when you plan to update the  
documentation anyway.
