My point was mainly directed at the "bilingual" idea. If it is to
involve a large amount of text in English, which is the impression I
got from the query, alongside the ASL... then it makes sense to try
and arrange it in such a way as to take advantage of the fact that we
have a well-developed, organised community writing that English text
at an astonishing rate.
