Developments since the Industrial Revolution have influenced the practice of translation, nurturing schools, professional associations, and standards. The Internet has helped expand the market for translation and has facilitated product localization. Currently, some 75% of professional translators work with technical texts. Since the 1940s, attempts have been made to computerize the translation of natural-language texts (machine translation) or to use computers as an aid to translation (computer-assisted translation).
Sign language is a system of communication in which gestures are substituted for speech, used especially by the deaf. Most different countries have their own sign language. For example, American Sign Language is used in the United States. Many hearing people may choose to learn sign language - sometimes to talk to deaf people, sometimes because they have a deaf friend or a deaf person in their family, or just because they find sign language very interesting. People can learn sign language by going to a class and learn it in a group of people. Other people can choose to learn sign language from a book (Sign language workbooks can also come with an interactive DVD) to enable students to study sign language.
