###### Bilingual dictionaries {-}
for signed language [@dataset:mesch2012meaning;@fenlon2015building;@crasborn2016ngt;@dataset:gutierrez2016lse] map a spoken language word or short phrase to a signed language video.
One notable dictionary, SpreadTheSign\footnote{\url{https://www.spreadthesign.com/}} is a parallel dictionary containing around 25,000 words with up to 42 different spoken-signed language pairs and more than 600,000 videos in total. Unfortunately, while dictionaries may help create lexical rules between languages, they do not demonstrate the grammar or the usage of signs in context.
@klomp-etal-2024-extension describe an ongoing extension of the Sign Language of the Netherlands (NGT) dataset in Global Signbank, aiming to add approximately 11,000 new glosses, 3,000 example sentences, multi-angle videos with non-manual expressions, phonological annotations, and motion capture data to support both linguistic research and automatic recognition.

@dataset:joshi-etal-2023-isltranslate introduce ISLTranslate, a large translation dataset for Indian Sign Language based on publicly available educational videos intended for hard-of-hearing children, which happen to contain both Indian Sign Language and English audio voiceover conveying the same content. They use a speech-to-text model to transcribe the audio content, which they later manually corrected with the help of accompanying books also containing the same content. They also use MediaPipe to extract pose features, and have a certified ISL signer validate a small portion of the sign-text pairs. They provide a baseline based on the architecture proposed in @camgoz2020sign, and provide code.
