Descrizione
🔖 Enhancement description
There are ISO 639 language codes for various sign languages. The ISO 639 standard provides codes for the representation of names of languages and includes sign languages. Here are some examples:
- American Sign Language (ASL): The code is ase.
- British Sign Language (BSL): The code is bfi.
- Auslan (Australian Sign Language): The code is asf.
- French Sign Language (LSF): The code is fsl.
- Chinese Sign Language (CSL): The code is csl.
- Spanish Sign Language (LSE): The code is ssp.
The general code for sign languages as a group is sgn. This covers a broad category and can be extended to specify individual sign languages when necessary.
These codes help in the classification and study of sign languages, ensuring that they are recognized and categorized properly in linguistic databases and resources.
🎤 Pitch
I would like to request the addition of "Sign Language" to the list of supported languages in the Appwrite locale API. This feature is crucial for improving accessibility and inclusivity for the Deaf and hard-of-hearing community, who rely on sign languages as their primary means of communication. The proposed JSON object for this addition is as follows:
{
"name": "Sign Language",
"code": "sgn",
"nativeName": "Sign Language"
}
Including a general code for sign languages will lay the groundwork for future expansions to support specific sign languages such as American Sign Language (ase), British Sign Language (bfi), and others. This enhancement aligns with Appwrite's commitment to providing inclusive and comprehensive language support, ensuring that all users can fully engage with the platform regardless of their communication preferences.
