The authors describe a novel approach and practical solution to an interactive sign language machine translation system from English to South African Sign Language. They interface the system with the GNApp application, which is an augmentative and alternative communication front-end, in order to resolve word sense ambiguities. This enhances the correctness of the rule-based translation system. They also argue that the GNApp interface can be applied to assist the South African Sign Language to English translation, without the need for a visual sign language recognition component
