ABSTRACT
Technology has substantially changed the way we interact with media. As translation and interpretation of sign language is now law, digital tools, interactive navigation systems, and hardware/software in audiovisual cultural production create new challenges and opportunities for the deaf community. The implementation of audiovisual accessibility resources, whose basic principle is access to information, not only is a legal requirement, but also forces us to reflect on the inclusion of translation in audiovisual materials and on which translation possibilities can be implemented, to ensure content accessibility to the deaf community through sign language.
