What is sight translating?

Sight translating refers specifically to the process of converting written text into signed language. This involves reading a document in a given language and then producing the equivalent meaning using signs, usually in a target signed language, such as American Sign Language (ASL). This skill is vital for interpreters who may encounter written forms of communication that need to be conveyed in a visual, signed format for Deaf individuals who use sign language as their primary mode of communication.

The other options describe processes relating to different forms of translation or interpretation but do not accurately define sight translating. For example, translating spoken language to written text or translating written text to spoken language involves different practices and skill sets and do not fit the specific definition of sight translation aimed at converting written forms into signed language.
