How To Test This Page

Three Steps, Then Just Explore

Pick or Write a Sentence

Choose a dialect and one of 200 ready-made sentences below, or switch to "Write Your Own" and type any Arabic text.

Show It on the Page

Click "Show for Translation" — your sentence appears as ordinary page text, right below.

Click the Translate Icon

Isharat automatically adds its "translate to sign language" icon next to the text. Click it to watch the real translation play.

Step by Step

On a Computer, or on Your Phone

The tool works the same either way — only how you select text changes.

Desktop & laptop

  1. Pick or highlight a sentence

    Choose one of the ready-made sentences below, or drag your mouse across any sentence on this page to select it.

  2. Click the translate icon

    Isharat's إشارات tooltip appears next to your selection. Click it to start the translation.

  3. Watch the playback

    The sign player opens and plays real human interpreter clips. Use the speed control (0.75×, 1×, 1.25×) or replay individual signs.

  4. Rate what you understood

    Pick one of the three options under the video. It takes a second and it genuinely changes what we fix next.

Phone & tablet

  1. Find the floating button

    The Isharat button sits in the bottom corner of your screen. You can drag it somewhere more comfortable.

  2. Press and hold the text

    Long-press any sentence to select it, the same way you'd copy text.

  3. Tap Sign Translate

    Choose it from the pop-up action menu, or tap the floating Isharat button.

  4. Watch, then rate

    The video opens in a full-screen player. Your rating buttons are at the bottom of that panel, before you close it.

What to expect while it loads: a sentence we've translated before starts playing in about 0.2 seconds. A sentence nobody has ever translated has to be processed from scratch the first time, which takes around 12 seconds — after that it's cached, and it's instant for everyone who asks for it next. A status message and loading animation show you which one is happening.

Helping Us Improve

How to Give Feedback on a Translation

Under every sign video there are three buttons. Pick the one that matches what you actually understood — not what you think we want to hear.

  • 🙂 Good / Accurate — the translation was clear and the signs were right.
  • 😐 Partially Understood — you got the meaning, but something was awkward or slightly off.
  • 😕 Unclear / Not Understood — it didn't make sense, or a sign was simply wrong.

Marking a translation 😕 Unclear immediately deactivates its cached version, so the next person who asks for that sentence gets a fresh translation instead of the same bad one. Ratings also tell our linguistic team which missing signs to record next in the studio.

Why a Dedicated Playground

Built Around Isharat's Next Translation Upgrade

Isharat already translates any selected page text into sign language — that part is live across this entire site, including the sentence you're about to try below. What's specifically being developed right now is context understanding: teaching the system to automatically pick the right sign for words with more than one meaning, and to read regional dialect phrasing more naturally.

This playground's 200-sentence bank — 40 each across Modern Standard Arabic, Egyptian, Gulf, Levantine, and Maghrebi — is the same set we evaluate the context engine against. On that benchmark it currently brings finger-spelling down to 7.9%, from 26.8% under the older exact-string matching. We publish the sentences openly so anyone can check the claim on the same material we used.

For the full picture of what's live, beta, and next, see the Sign Language page's "What's Beta, What's Next" section.
