Bulgarian Braille Translator (uncontracted)  

FUNCTIONAL SUMMARY

The Bulgarian Uncontracted tables support print-to-braille translation of Bulgarian-language literary text written in the Cyrillic alphabet. They are usually used in conjunction with Microsoft Word, or equivalent external facilities for composing and editing the print text that can then be imported into the Duxbury Braille Translator (DBT) for conversion into braille. English text may also be processed as a sub-language, and converted to contracted or uncontracted English braille (generally following British conventions in those minor instances where they differ from American ones).

REFERENCES, HISTORY AND CREDITS

These tables are based upon the information given for Bulgarian in "World Braille Usage," a joint publication of UNESCO and the National Library Service for the Blind and Physically Handicapped, Washington, D.C. (1990). According to that publication, contractions are not used in Bulgarian braille and so these tables should produce braille that is normal for that country.

The tables were originally developed in June 2000 by Duxbury Systems, Inc.
