This work advances the field of sign language machine translation by focusing on dataset quality and simplification of the translation system. We introduce SignBank+, a clean version of the SignBank dataset, optimized for machine translation. Contrary to previous works that employ complex factorization techniques for translation, we advocate for a simplified text-to-text translation approach. Our evaluation shows that models trained on SignBank+ surpass those on the original dataset, establishing a new benchmark and providing an open resource for future research.
