International Sign Language Interpretation

The sign language is the transfer of thoughts and speeches with hand gestures and face movements to another person. This language has been developed for people who lost their linguistic and auditory ability at birth or then. It is estimated that there are 3 million impaired people in hearing in our country, even if any clear numbers are not given.

In Turkey, the development of sign language, began with the School of the Deaf and Dumb which was opened Sultan Abdul Hamid era in 1889. Then the school, which was closed in 1913, was moved to Izmir with the establishment of the Turkish Republic and reopened. Until 1995, there have been no studies in this field within the Ministry of National Education. At that time, the Ministry of Education published a study called Sign Language Guide for Adults. Unfortunately, because our country performed the necessary works very late, our country is about 60 years behind Europe.

Even if we have knowledge about sign language in our country, unfortunately most people do not know about sign language translation. Translation which exist in all fields of communication is available for this language as well.  

"Gestuno", known as the international sign language, was first discussed in 1951 at the World Federation for the Deaf. Gestuno was efforted to be standardized for the whole world in 1973 and necessary steps were taken in this direction.

The sign language differs by country to country. It is called sign language translation by bringing together people who use two different languages and speak with sign language by means of a translator, just like the translation which was established by speaking. Although there is a misbelief that a common sign language is used all over the world, the necessary steps taken in this regard unfortunately didn't reach its goal. Unfortunately, Gestuno had experienced no grammatical advancement. Even so, Gestuno is being showed as common area for international sign language.
