GREEK (Modern)
TABLE DESIGNATOR
ell
(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 Greek (Modern) tables support print-to-braille translation of Greek-language literary text in uncontracted modern Greek braille. English text may also be processed as a secondary language, uncontracted. The American Computer Braille Code (CBC) and Nemeth Math code (with modifications as appropriate for Greek context) are also supported.
REFERENCES, HISTORY AND CREDITS
These tables were initially developed in July 2000 by Duxbury Systems, Inc., based on information supplied by Professor Georgios Kouroupetroglou.
Starting in September 2008, Nemeth Math Code (as modified for use with Greek) was implemented in these tables.
In March 2010, support for contracted English as a secondary language was removed. (Note that [lnb~...]can be used if English contractions are required, which would be unusual in Greek context.)
