DZONGKHA
TABLE DESIGNATOR
dzo
(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 Dzongkha tables support print-to-braille translation of Dzongkha-language literary text into uncontracted Dzongkha braille.
Uncontracted English is also supported. Technical (mathematics and computer) notation is generally transcribed as in Unified English Braille (UEB).
REFERENCES, HISTORY AND CREDITS
