SignWriting List
October 14, 2009

Hello Eda and Charles!

Thank you, Eda, for this lovely message. I am so happy to know about  
your experiences teaching SignWriting in São Paulo, Brazil! Thank you  
for sharing with us...

And thank you, Charles, for your translation from Portuguese to  
English. Your English translation is certainly better than the first- 
draft translations that come from the translation software!! It is  
funny how LIBRAS is translated into the English word "pounds" in the  
software programs ...that one is very hard to guess as to what it  
should mean...so your translation was really helpful to me...

And Eda, I agree with Charles, that it is wonderful that you wish to  
translate children's books into LIBRAS. Perhaps it would help you to  
learn to use SignPuddle software to write the documents? It is free  
online. Have you ever used SignPuddle? We will be happy to help  
explain how to use SignPuddle if you wish to learn. I use SignPuddle  
to write our SignWriting books, as do many others around the world in  
other sign languages...

So thanks again, and have a splendid day!

Val ;-)
