Change from 'Says' to 'Signed' in JSL

What's the title of your suggestion?: Change from 'Says' to 'Signed' in JSL

What's your suggestion?:
So. . . I am not aware of all the updates that have been going on in SchoolRP, but I recently discovered the change made to the language system. If you say, for example, /lang Spanish Lorem Ipsum, it will be read as 'Jack Smith says "????"' for those who do not understand Spanish.
However, I have a character who speaks JSL, and my example applies to JSL as well. But instead of "says," I think it should be "signed" for JSL.
For instance: /lang JSL Lorem Ipsum would look like 'Jack Smith signed "????"'.

How will this benefit the server and community?:
This change would benefit the server by adding better context to how JSL is communicated. It's a bit misleading when a sign language message says a character "said" it.

In RP, while you can't metagame knowing what the words mean, it is completely obvious when a character is physically signing with their hands. Changing this to "signed" would make JSL interactions much more accurate and realistic in my opinion.

While not the purpose of the suggestion, I do think that it's also quite reasonable to understand what language is being spoken without knowing the language given the fact that most languages have their own unique sound and pronunciations. I can usually tell when someone is speaking in Russian, German, Japanese, French, etc, just from being within earshot.

Though I can't know what they're saying, I think the universal "???" thing is a bad addition in general and causes massive confusion with if people are just reacting with confusion IC or actually speaking. I get it's solved by a quick mouse hover but why do we need a mouse hover at all when what was already implemented worked just fine?

As for the signing thing, yeah, I 100% agree with this suggestion on that front, it should be very obvious someone is signing compared to speaking any other language.

I’ve always wanted this!! Although I believe it would have to be adjusted code wise instead of following the same format, I think it would be a useful addition and worth the effort for realism. I get it’s not necessarily a large issue, but I do believe that it’s important to look after even the smaller things!

I’d also like to note the ??? thing makes no sense to me either. It did not need an update!! Unless that was like an error. You def can understand which languages are what despite not knowing them to speak them. Like you know I’m speaking French even if you can’t understand what I’m exactly saying. Basically what ThatBurningFox said above
