HEBREW (AMERICAN) Uncontracted
TABLE DESIGNATOR
heb-usa
(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 Hebrew/American Uncontracted tables support print-to-braille translation of Hebrew-language and English-language literary text, following the conventions used by the Jewish Braille Institute of America (JBI) in New York, New York. the print-to-braille translation supports the production of uncontracted Hebrew braille and contracted or uncontracted English braille following American standards.
These tables support some secondary languages as well.
The American Computer Braille Code (CBC) is also supported.
