ASL dictionnary <-> french translation ?

[Bill Reese]

Steve,

I used that link combined together with an extension for FireFox called 
Cooliris to make it easy to go through the list of glosses.

1. I clicked on the "Remove Frame" link at the top of the Google 
translation. 
2. In the resulting page, I hovered the cursor over a gloss and the 
Cooliris blue square appeared over it.  Moving the cursor over that 
square opened up the Cooliris page, which showed the ASL for that gloss. 
You can also do this with just a right click over a gloss.
3. I clicked on the lock icon at the top of the Cooliris window.  
Otherwise, it goes away as soon as the cursor is moved off the gloss or 
out of the Cooliris window.  I resized the Cooliris window to allow me 
to see the gloss list under it.
4. Hovering the cursor over that gloss list changed the Cooliris window 
to show the ASL of that gloss, one after the other as I moved the cursor 
from one gloss to the next.

This allowed me to stay on one page for the gloss list while seeing the 
sign for that gloss in the Cooliris window.  This kept the gloss list in 
one place, allowing scrolling through the list and staying at where it 
was scrolled.  Also, the gloss list links changed from blue to yellow 
after viewing, which showed what glosses had already been viewed in ASL 
in the Cooliris window.

This seemed to be a useful way of easily and quickly moving through that 
list and it made me wonder if a similar feature could be designed into 
SignPuddle.
