Israeli Hebrew Braille Translator (uncontracted)  

FUNCTIONAL SUMMARY

The Hebrew/Israeli Uncontracted tables support print-to-braille translation of Hebrew-language literary text in uncontracted Hebrew braille according to the code documented for the Central Library for the Blind in Netanya, Israel by Rivka Rosenzweig. These translation tables also follow the code's rules for material in other languages within a Hebrew document.  See the section below on secondary languages for more details.

The American Computer Braille Code (CBC) is also supported.

REFERENCES, HISTORY AND CREDITS

These tables were developed in July 2002 by Duxbury Systems, Inc., based on a document written by Rivka Rosenzweig for the Central Library for the Blind in Netanya, Israel.  These tables replace the older Hebrew translation tables developed for DBT as used with the Hebrew version of  WordPerfect 5.1.
