    Resumen

    This paper describes the development of and the first experiments in a Spanish to sign language translation system in a real domain.
    The developed system focuses on the sentences spoken by an official when assisting people applying for, or renewing their Identity Card.
    The system translates official explanations into Spanish Sign Language (LSE: Lengua de Signos Espan˜ola) for Deaf people. The translation
    system is made up of a speech recognizer (for decoding the spoken utterance into a word sequence), a natural language translator
    (for converting a word sequence into a sequence of signs belonging to the sign language), and a 3D avatar animation module (for playing
    back the hand movements). Two proposals for natural language translation have been evaluated: a rule-based translation module (that
    computes sign confidence measures from the word confidence measures obtained in the speech recognition module) and a statistical
    translation module (in this case, parallel corpora were used for training the statistical model). The best configuration reported 31.6%
    SER (Sign Error Rate) and 0.5780 BLEU (BiLingual Evaluation Understudy). The paper also describes the eSIGN 3D avatar animation
    module (considering the sign confidence), and the limitations found when implementing a strategy for reducing the delay between the
    spoken utterance and the sign sequence animation.
