Eli5 – Why are sign language translators still used? Aren’t subtitles more effective?
In: 9
Not all deaf people are good at reading the spoken language of the country where they live. Each sign language is an independent language. So for people for which a sign language is their maternal tongue, the spoken language of the country where they live is a second language they learned afterward and can be less good at. Also, written languages don’t convey emotions as well.
