German Sign Language (DGS) is the visual-manual language used by the deaf community in Germany, Luxembourg, and the German-speaking region of Belgium. With our translator, you can not only translate text but also preview the entire sign alphabet, making it easier to memorize and communicate. Create meaningful messages quickly and easily!

It has little to do with German, but it’s faster - and has its own terms: an overview of German Sign Language. German Sign Language, or DGS for short, is spoken by at least 200,000 people in Germany, of whom about 80,000 are deaf. DGS has been recognized as a full-fledged language since 2002 by the Disability Equality Act.

German Sign Language uses a one-handed manual alphabet ('Fingeralphabet' in German) derived from the French manual alphabet of the 18th century; it is related to manual alphabets used across Europe and in North America. It differs from the ASL manual alphabet in the shape of the letter T and in the addition of a letter SCH (a 'five' hand).
