Vers un système de traduction automatique : français/langue des signes française (TLF)

We present a work in the framewok of machine translation from French to French Sign Language (FSL) with synthesis of gestures through a virtual agent. We first give some descriptive and theoretical elements about the FSL. Then we propose a formalization of the standard part of the FSL lexicon as well as propositions concerning some morpho-syntactic phenomena. Then we present the machine translation system based on interlingua representation system "TiLT" developed at France Telecom R&D and the adaptation of its generation module to FSL. We end with the avatar technology also developed at France Telecom R & D and its FSL treatment.
