HAUSA
TABLE DESIGNATOR
hau
(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 Hausa tables support print-to-braille translation of Hausa-language literary text in grade 2 (contracted) or grade 1 (uncontracted) braille.
REFERENCES, HISTORY AND CREDITS
These tables are based upon the information given to Duxbury Systems for Hausa by Mrs. Jean Obi. (Note: Pending further decisions regarding the representation of the hooked letters b, d and k, they are translated as the basic letter preceded by dot 4, following a suggestion by Mrs. Obi.)
The tables were originally developed beginning in May 2005 by Duxbury Systems, Inc.
