- There are 3 "sign-writing" systems out there - Sutton Writing
System,
Stokoe Notation System and HamNoSys (Hamburg Notation System) but it
is
felt
that the Sutton one will become the most popular as its simple to
use
and
easy to use - whereas Stokoe and Hamnosys are more used by academics
(deeper
note-keeping really)
Can they be machine translated with usable accuracy? (Even as much as Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese?) That would help a *lot*!
(by machine) from English to the Sutton SignWriting - yeah - but from SignWriting to English, I dont think so. It will take us a while before we can reach an agreement on this.
I meant between each other - Simplified and Traditional Chinese are *mostly* a one-to-one correspondence between characters (with a few dodgy bits). Do the three sign systems have a 1-1 or mostly 1-1 correspondence?
