Translation & Localization

Synchronous, in-vision, sign language translations on any webpage for any Deaf sign language user.Signly, a world-first, enables Lloyds Bank and Microsoft to go beyond compliance and welcome and include deaf people who use sign language (SL). Organizations with a passion for proactive inclusion know there's a moral imperative to look after all users. Signly is an easy way for organizations to do that and ensure deaf people are not disadvantaged or discriminated against.Just because it's written, doesn't mean it's understood by Deaf users. People who are late-deafened will understand English – but English is not always a deaf person's primary language. SL is their first and preferred language, and English is a second. Some users have Lower English Proficiency (LEP).ImpactDeaf users self-serve independentlySign language users have more equal accessEngage with content in their first language for freeLess reliant on friends, family and interpretersMainstream access to sign language at source – not as an afterthought or after the eventIncreased awareness amongst the Deaf community about CV19 and other essential information; better compliance with guidanceInterpreters freed up for other important assignments like attending medical appointmentsOrganizations role model inclusion in action
