Libras – Brazilian Sign Language – was created to promote the inclusion of individuals with hearing impairments.   In 2002, it was officially recognized by Law No. 10.436 as one of the official languages of Brazil and regulated under Decree No. 5.626/2005.  

The key distinction of Sign Language from other languages is that, instead of verbalizing words, it uses gestures as a form of communication. These gestures include specific hand movements, often combined with body and facial expressions, to convey meaning.  

Investing in Brazilian Sign Language translation is a step toward promoting inclusion, creating a more welcoming society, and providing greater access and opportunities for individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing.
