A method and system is provided for communicating a interpreted
sign-language communication in a communication system having a plurality
of nodes including at least a source node, a destination node, and a
network node. To facilitate communicating the interpreted sign-language
communication, the network node receives from the source node
non-sign-language content. The network node stores
sign-language-interpreted content in a network queue for retrieval by the
destination node. The sign-language-interpreted content defines at least
one sign-language translation of the non-sign-language content. When the
destination node retrieves and displays the sign-language-interpreted
content, a user of the destination node, such as a hearing-impaired
individual, can receive communications from the source node that
originate in a form other than sign-language format.
