馃殌 Enhancement: Add Sign Language as a language #8201
Comments
If you decide to do that, you can feel free to assign this issue to me. It's my pleasure to work on enhancing the accessibility and inclusivity of the platform. I noticed that the Appwrite locale API at https://cloud.appwrite.io/v1/locale/languages currently does not support 3-letter language codes yet, which might be an issue for adding sign languages like "sgn". Is there any specific test or validation for adding new languages with 3-letter codes? If you have any guidance or requirements for this, please let me know. @stnguyen90 |
馃敄 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:
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.
馃帳 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:
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.
