Sistema de traducción directa de español a LSM con reglas marcadas

Automatic translation faces computational as well as linguistic complexities because of the principles and standards of the original and the target language. This process is even bigger challenge when the languages are not written, as it is the case of Mexican Sign Language (LSM), which is used by people with hearing disabilities. This paper focuses on the development of a tool for direct translation with rules; the translation is from written Spanish to Mexican Sign Language. This tool uses multimedia databases because of the visual-gestual language involved, and it uses NLP for the automatic translation with lexical, syntactic and morphological analysis.
