Google adds sign-language preference to Google+ hangouts

[Jonathan Hung]

Hi everyone,

I came across this which may be interesting to our communities. Google has
added some new accessibility features. Most notable is the ability for a
hang-out user to invite a sign-language interpreter to a hangout with
special functionality.

"They'll always see their interpreter at the top right of the window, and
they'll become the focus of the Hangout whenever their interpreter speaks
for them. "

- Jon.
