Malay Braille Translator  

FUNCTIONAL SUMMARY

The Malay tables support print-to-braille and braille-to-print translation of Malay-language literary text in contracted or uncontracted Malay braille. The American Computer Braille Code (CBC) is also supported.

REFERENCES, HISTORY AND CREDITS

These tables were implemented by Duxbury Systems, Inc. commencing in October 1998 as an adaptation of the then-current Cymraeg (Welsh) tables, based upon the document entitled "The Malay Braille Code," a publication of the Malay Braille Code Committee of the Ministry of Education, Malaysia. The National Council of the Blind of Malaysia (NCBM) sponsored the development and provided invaluable feedback as the work progressed.

Commencing in January 2004, these tables were extensively updated to conform to the Revised Malay Code (2003).
