> These interfaces can be updated with SignPuddle 3.  If anyone would like to clean the auto-translated interfaces, please let me know your username and which language.  I will make you an editor for the user interface.  You can edit the auto-translated interface or you can start with a fresh copy of the English.

> Dictionaries
> ========
> For the dictionaries, you can view all, search by IDs, terms, or sign. You can create new signs.
> 
> If you are an editor, you can edit all of the signs.  Otherwise, you can only edit signs you create.
> 
> You can create a selection of signs for PDF printing.  Depending on the dictionary settings and your security rights, you can upload images for the dictionary entries.  These images can be included in the PDF printing.
> 
> I will be created a series of instructional videos that demonstrate the various functionality available.
> 
> SignText is not available within SignPuddle 3 yet.  That is the next major development milestone.
> 
> 
> Dictionary Editors and Managers
> =====================
> Each dictionary has its own set of editors and managers. Dictionary editors can edit or delete any of the signs in a dictionary. Managers control who is an editor.
> 
> 
> Alternate Dictionaries
> =============
> Every sign language can have a main public dictionary. Additionally, any sign language can have alternative or specialized dictionaries upon request.

> 
> Support and the future
> ==============
> The best support you can give me right now is to test SignPuddle 3 and give me feedback.  I would really appreciate it.
> 
> For SignPuddle 3, the next major development will be the new SignText. This will include an integrated SignMaker, dictionary lookup, and fingerspelling.
> 
> After that, I have the four additional sections.  Literature for sign text documents.  Fingerspelling for automatic conversion from spoken words.  Alphabets for custom extracts of the International SignWriting Alphabet on the symbol palette.  Keyboarding for SignMaker and SignText.
> 
> For SignWriting, there is also the need for the two-dimensional font development as well as continued support for the SignWriting websites.

> If you find SignPuddle 3 useful, or any of my other work, consider joining my supporters on Patreon with a monthly contribution.  I am currently only 6% towards my funding and I could really use your support.
