ABOUT THE DELEGS EDITOR
DELEGS, or "delegs" is a German acronym which, in the German spoken language, stands for "Learn German with SignWriting" ("Deutsch lernen mit GebärdenSchrift"). The web site delegs.de started as the German portal for deaf people who want to improve their German reading and writing skills based on their German sign language skills.
Nowadays delegs.de supports several sign languages such as American Sign Language (ASL), Deutsche Gebärdensprache (DGS), Lenguas de Signos Española (LSE), Língua Brasileira de Sinais (Libras), and corresponding spoken languages such as English, German, Spanish, Portuguese. And more to come.
delegs.de provides tools to create and exchange educational material based on SignWriting. |
