We describe a novel approach and practical solution to an interactive sign language machine translation system from English to South African Sign Language.

This enhances the correctness of the rule-based translation system. We also arg...

We show that post-processing of the target language tree, after transfer rules have been applied, results in a simple and efficient mechani...
