ASL Articles for the ASL Wikipedia

[Charles Butler]

I am trying to use the ASL dictionary similar to the German product that uses gloss to translate into German Sign Language. I try to think in ASL as much as possible and find the closest term in English gloss to the grammar. Then I use the translate feature, move the file to the Encyclopedia, and then go through each sign, clip it, and add it to the Encyclopedia in case people puzzle over a word or a concept.

Hello Charles -
A thousand thanks for continuing to write the Helen article for the ASL Wikipedia!

Glad you told us that you wrote the additions in the ASL Encyclopedia puddle…that is great...

It will be moved into the ASL Wikipedia as soon as Adam has the time -

Building articles for the ASL Wikipedia will be an important part of our SignWriting work for decades to come - and you are pioneering this effort -

big smile…;-)))

Val ;-)
