There are more than 30 million people in China who have hearing and vision impairments, with varied regional and cultural differences. Currently, translation of special languages such as Braille and sign language often depends on a person's demographic data. However, the government is planning to implement an official nationwide standard for sign language and Braille within the next five years, according to Chinese state media.
