BVB players’ names have been given sign language translations; a uniform ‘pronunciation’ created for the deaf community. vor 2 Stunden, INN reports.
An after-school club in Germany has come up with a novel way of spreading their love of Borussia Dortmund to the wider community by translating the names of Marco Reus, Christian Pulisic & Co. into sign language.
INN gathered that the school group, from Horgenzell in south-west Germany, had the original idea and teamed up with the DEAF BVB fanclub to bring the project to life, with further support from Dortmund’s own charitable foundation “Leuchte auf” (light up).
A member of the DEAF BVB fan club, Florian Hansing, said, “Until now, the players’ names had to be spelled out letter by letter, which was very cumbersome, as they weren’t any uniform translations,”
“This project means that their names can now be adopted into general language use.”, Handing said.
The hand signals are accompanied by gestures to convey the players’ names to the Deaf community, which numbers over 200,000 people in Germany.
