translating texts, identifying culture-specific concepts and expressions that do not easily translate into English, for example, language related to artefacts, place names, kinship relations, name substitutes
interpreting terminology for parts of the body and their metaphoric use in relation to landscape and artefacts, drawing comparisons with English or other languages
identifying words and phrases that have more than one literal meaning
showing others how different signs and hand talk are used and explaining their meaning and symbolism
