Translation for the Deaf

How it Works

We need 3 players for this game. One will be an expert on a topic provided by the audience; another will be the interviewer. The third will provide simultaneous translation for the hearing impaired, using 'sign language'.

Notes

This works best if the interview itself does not go too fast, so the translator has plenty of time to translate. Also helpful are returning keywords that the translator can always translate the same way.

A gimmick is to translate everything literally, even 'dummy' words, like 'oh', 'great', 'hm hm'.
