A SIGN-LANGUAGE translation service was provided at Huangpu District People鈥檚 Court yesterday, the 29th International Day of Disabled Persons.
It is the first service of its kind in a local court, it said.
A hearing-impaired woman, surnamed Xiong, was at the court鈥檚 litigation service center to consult a judge about an inheritance dispute.
鈥淵ou need to file a bill of complaint and evidence to the court according to this template,鈥 Cai Miaomiao, the judge, told Xiong with the help of Li Lin, a volunteer providing the sign-language service.
Li, who has been a sign-language interpreter for nearly 10 years, was well prepared.
鈥淲e have to learn how to translate common legal terms in sign language and simple legal knowledge for the disabled,鈥 she said.
鈥淏efore the service was launched, I had to communicate with them via pen and paper. It was hard to explain professional information in several sentences,鈥 Cai said. 鈥淏ut now, the barrier between the judge and hearing-impaired people has been cleared.鈥
People with hearing disorders can book the offline service at the local litigation website or apply to the Huangpu disabled persons鈥 federation, the court said.

They learned how to express the number, daily words and common legal terms in sign language during the third training for all staff of the local courts, organized by the city鈥檚 high court and disabled persons鈥 federation.
