Do you translate for your friends?

Yeah, if it is at a medium, that's fine or rather in moderation but I'd just leave it as it is. If they want to keep conversing, there are many other ways to adapt to it by using paper/pen, pagers, so and on. It also could be a start to encourage others to learn sign language.

It sure does open the door to many opportunities! Some of my hearing friends have learned sign language by just doing that.
