I see that you are trying to use this repository with VGT.

The download_lexicon script does not support any VGT dataset, so to support Flemish, you would have to go through the following process:

1. Collect a lexicon (Download videos from https://vlaamsegebarentaal.be/signbank/signs/show_all/ or collect your own)
2. Extract poses using this library and the command video_to_pose --format mediapipe -i example.mp4 -o example.pose
3. Construct a lexicon CSV file with the words, matching the poses, for example https://github.com/sign-language-processing/spoken-to-signed-translation/blob/main/assets/dummy_lexicon/index.csv

path,spoken_language,signed_language,start,end,words,glosses,priority
sgg/kleine.pose,de,sgg,0,0,kleine,Kleine,0
sgg/kinder.pose,de,sgg,0,0,kinder,Kinder,0

Now, once you have this index.csv, under a directory called, let's say, lexicon, you can run for example:

text_to_gloss_to_pose \
  --text "Hallo mijn naam is john." \
  --glosser "simple" \
  --lexicon "lexicon" \
  --spoken-language "nl" \
  --signed-language "vgt" \
  --pose "quick_test.pose"

hello,I have one problem, look at.

download_lexicon
--name
--directory <path_to_directory>

What should I put in "name" and "directory" in this code?

[KhayitboevElbekjon]

the only dataset available in this repository is signsuisse. If you have a further issue that is not related to the issue at hand, please create a different issue.

hello @AmitMY , i have already create step 1 until 3 you told using Bahasa Malaysia Sign Language and it works if dont change the spoken lang = "sgg" and sign lang = "de" column in my new index.csv file. When I want put signed lang = "xml" or "msl" and spoken lang = "ms" in index.csv file, its receive error, mind to explain why its not working and what steps need to be taken?

##error output usage: text_to_gloss_to_pose [-h] --text TEXT --glosser {simple,spacylemma,rules,nmt} --spoken-language {de,fr,it,en} --signed-language {sgg,gsg,bfi,ase} --lexicon LEXICON --pose POSE text_to_gloss_to_pose: error: argument --spoken-language: invalid choice: 'ms' (choose from 'de', 'fr', 'it', 'en')

This is because these values are hardcoded here: https://github.com/sign-language-processing/spoken-to-signed-translation/blob/main/spoken_to_signed/bin.py#L71-L72 We might want to load them dynamically.

[KhayitboevElbekjon]

thank you very much for important information.
