Hi Calphool, I don't have a problem with 'off color' signs. - They are a part of the language so it would be good to have them in the dictionary - as long as the images to go with them are carefully selected! Thanks Simon

Hi Jaime, I will delete 'fire' now... Your videos are excellent now, the compression you are using is way better, thanks for that! Calphool, that's a good idea to keep copies of your signs. Not so much if I loose funding, there will be warning of that, but if there is a technical error...

Compression Hi Jamie, Just to follow on from your discussion with Calphool... did you manage to work out what brand of webcam you are using and what software you are using to record your video clips. I have had a few emails to say that your videos are not loading properly, which is wrong...

Thanks for that Calphool... I'd never heard of that before, looks like a really useful function. I will add it to the site when I get some time. I guess we Brits know a lot of americanisations through using incorrectly configured Microsoft products! - but I'm sure there are many more than...

Hi again! Have fixed the firefox issues!! phew.... i was starting to think that it wasn't going to be possible, but all videos should now be working in firefox and IE (you may be prompted to install an updated plugin). Simon

One other note. To make it easier for cross-language searching in the 'This sign also means' box please could you type and obvious spelling differences between UK and US - eg ize & ise color & colour Thanks Simon

That's great guys!! I'm so pleased to see your enthusiasm, I just hope that some British and Australian signers will soon help us out too... Once I get some more time I'll carry on with the British section (I'm in my final 2 months of teacher training at the moment so things are a little bit...

Hi Again, Thanks again everyone for adding some more clips... especially the children - great to see young people signing! Thanks for that info about Turbine Calphool. The basic program can't be used with the dictionary because of the location that the video files are stored, however it...

Yeah, having some kind of compression will be a big help... thanks for suggesting it Calphool... just one word of warning, i'm having issues with MS-MPEG4 - currently the only plugin that I can get working properly with firefox browsers is Quicktime and that dosen't have the MS-MPEG4 codec...

Hi Calphool, Thanks a lot for uploading those clips! - good work. The point you made about the codecs is a good one... I have looked into a conversion utility to flash but there is nothing I can find that is web based which can do that at the moment, but it's something I'm going to keep...

Thanks! Thanks Jamie, That's great... what a good start... somebody else is also posting signs as I type. Don't worry about the clarity of the signs... they look good enought to me.... however the system will work in a way that if somebody uploads the same sign then I will delete the one...

Thanks again for the feedback. At the moment the text language side of things I am leaving until I have finished the rest of the site. Using different text languages is a feature I'd like to add in later one. Yeah, the way I sign London is with just the index finger (it is the same sign...

Sorted? Thanks Ismi I have had another look and it turns out it was a problem caused by an edit I made to the code to fix something else.... it was only appearing if you weren't logged in as a user (which is how I missed it before). I believe I have fixed the problem now - please let me...

Feedback Hi Liza, Thanks for your feedback. I think the problem with the overlapping text was just while I was doing some work on the site... that should be fixed now? - if not please let me know what browser you are using so that I can figure out the problem - I have tested so far on a...

Fixed? Hi Again, I think i have fixed this problem, let me know if you have any luck uploading now. Thanks a lot for your contributions. Simon

What's going wrong? Hi Jamielee There're bound to be a few teething problems with a project like this. Hopefully you can work with me to get it sorted out? What is the problem? - are you getting an error message? What is happening when you try to upload a video clip? Thanks Simon

Thanks DSMTIH Perhaps this is a better place for it. Just so people know the website address is: Dictionary of Sign Enjoy

Sign Language Dictionary Thank you. I hope that it works out... I please encourage everybody who reads this and knows some sign language to add at least one sign, that way it will soon grow. Because this is a brand new site there are no signs in it currently and I think that is putting...
