IRISH GAELIC
TABLE DESIGNATOR
gle
(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 Irish Gaelic tables support print-to-braille translation of Irish-language literary text in contracted or uncontracted Irish braille. English text may also be processed as a sub-language, and converted to contracted or uncontracted English braille (following British conventions). The American Computer Braille Code (CBC) is also supported.
REFERENCES, HISTORY AND CREDITS
