I would suggest that we consider the possibility of automatic conversion to sign language (one of the easier forms of machine translation, I suspect) and that we attempt to ensure that if it is possible we are able to cope with it. Charles McCN On Tue, 3 Aug 1999, Jason White wrote: What I am essentially asking is whether any requirements pertaining to the translation of text into sign languages, whether automated or not, or the representation of such languages via the web, should be included in a subsequent version of the guidelines. This is one issue which has been consistently raised in discussion but in regard to which no firm decisions have been taken. My remarks were intended to ensure that the issue remains on the agenda, rather than to suggest any concrete proposal. --Charles McCathieNevile mailto:charles@w3.org phone: +1 617 258 0992 http://www.w3.org/People/Charles W3C Web Accessibility Initiative http://www.w3.org/WAI MIT/LCS - 545 Technology sq., Cambridge MA, 02139, USA
