SignWriting in Brazil - obrigada!

[Charles Butler]

Dearest people,

The correct title of Brazilian sign language is LIBRAS, it should not be translated POUNDS. It is an acronym of LINgua BRAsileira dos Sinais. (Brazilian Sign Language). Translation programs only go so far, this is one time when they break down. Libras, lower case, translates as pounds, as in weight. We need to send Google a proper translation for the upper case use of this word in Portuguese so that the translation program does not mistranslate it. 

One would not translate USA as "he uses" but as United States of America.
