A part of me wishes that written sign languages caught on. With a large enough corpus, they'd be way easier to translate into other languages, and it'd also be easier to translate between signing and written sign language. The way things stand, ML solutions need to perform both steps of the translation, which is so much harder.

An example might be the sign RAIN, which could mean anything from drizzle to monsoon depending on how energetic and exagerated the motion. Differentiating which would would need some context, baselining how animated the signer is in the conversation. If you wrote that down you might need RAIN... for one and RAIN!!!!! for the other.
