چکیده
On the World Wide Web (WWW), the presence of sign languages is very limited because of the dominance of text-based web development technologies. There is a lack of tools available to create webpages that do not contain text. It is thus difficult for Deaf sign language users to have a web presence in their native language and forces them to work in a second, less expressive language, text. The lack of sign language content on-line also means that Deaf culture has unequal representation in a space that is claimed to be one of the great equalizers of culture and language [2].
