We are people, people of earth in Brazilian Sign Language - translation ERROR

[Nikhil Sinha]

Oh dear God! I'm tired of saying this again and again. I do NOT want
the translations to confirm to my structure.
And how are you so sure that i'm tampering with translations? Give me
examples. I just go according to what people submit. I do NOT make
changes on my own. The only thing i do is capitalise the first letter
of the sentence, if it isn't already so, and add a full stop, if there
wasn't any.
Nikhil.
