In the case of sign language translation, sign language should be one of the languages of presentation.

For the translation of literary works, the Canada Council for the Arts administers the National Translation Program for Book Publishing (NTPBP) on behalf of the Department of Canadian Heritage and it acknowledges the financial support of the Government of Canada.
