Btv interpreters distort news, confusing the deaf

All eight members of BOAD (including those in the association's committee) yesterday said they cannot understand any of the three sign language interpreters who interpret the English news on Btv.

"They use either Australian or American language, not local sign language.  Those people were put there to help us, not to confuse us," said Sholo Gaolaolwe, adding that the interpreters distort the dissemination of news to the deaf community.  He also questioned why there is no interpretation for sport news.
