International dictionary of many national sign languages

The accessible nature of the internet with social media sites e.g. facebook and movement of people around the world means we can frequently meet people from many different countries. The language barriers can often be seen as a barrier to communication. The European Sign Language Centre have started a project 'spread the sign' to make sign languages available to everyone, removing some of those barriers.

They have created an international dictionary of the following national sign languages: Swedish, English (BSL), American English (ASL), German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, Estonian, Lithuanian, Icelandic, Latvian, Polish, Czech, Japanese, Turkish. American Sign Language and baby signs are also included.
