This paper presents recommendations for the use of Sign Language Avatars that are based on the view of deaf users and deaf and hearing experts. It focuses on three areas: Linguistic aspects of sign language avatars, the aspect of translational competence and ethical issues when deploying avatars. In each of the three areas, criticism and ideas that deaf sign language users stated in focus group discussions are summarized, followed by concrete best practice recommendations that are firmly rooted in our qualitative data.
