Names can be translated, though they do tend to be somewhat transformed in the process, the more so when translated into a signed language. Is a translated name treated with the same reverence as the original?

Signed languages can be written, most commonly with Sutton SignWriting, though other schemes (Stokoe Notation, Ham-No-Sys, and si5s) also exist.

If a printed document contained a representation of the name of God, should it be treated with reverence and disposed of with care, or does the translation into a different language medium mean that it no longer counts as a form of the Divine Name?

  • Your question seems to be about written representations of translations of divine names, whether that translation is to a signed language or a spoken one, yet your title is more specific. Can you edit your title to match your question or your question to clarify your intent?
