Remember: American Sign Language (ASL) is NOT signed English! ASL is a unique language with its own grammar and syntax. For that reason, English captions and transcripts can NOT replace sign language translation. If you want to make your content accessible to the Deaf community, offer it in sign language. Learn more about sign language translation and how it works on our website: https://lnkd.in/gbVwmT9k
