AFRIKAANS (PRE-UNIFIED)
TABLE DESIGNATOR
afr-x00
(The initial translation table for a translation is determined by the selected template, and may be changed using the Document / Translation Tables menu. Using those menus does not involve explicit use of the table designator. However, in cases where it is necessary to switch to a different translation table partway through a file, the designator for the table being switched to is required; see the general description of the [lnb~...] command for further details.)
FUNCTIONAL SUMMARY
The Afrikaans (pre-Unified) tables support print-to-braille translation of Afrikaans-language literary text, in either grade 2 (contracted) or grade 1 (uncontracted) braille, according to the code in effect prior to the introduction of Unified Afrikaans Braille in 2010.
REFERENCES, HISTORY AND CREDITS
These tables were initially developed May-October 1986 by the Institute for the Blind, Worcester, South Africa, with the assistance of Duxbury Systems, Inc. Until they were supplanted by the table for Unified Afrikaans Braille in 2010, they were maintained mainly by Mr. Christo de Klerk with the help of Mr. Jan Bam, and with occasional assistance from Duxbury.
