Nguni (Xhosa/Zulu) Braille Translator  

FUNCTIONAL SUMMARY

The Nguni tables support print-to-braille translation of Xhosa- or Zulu-language literary text in contracted or uncontracted braille as defined for those languages of the Nguni peoples. The American Computer Braille Code (CBC) is also supported.

REFERENCES, HISTORY AND CREDITS

These tables were developed from April 1991 at the Institute for the Blind, Worcester, South Africa, and at the South Africa Blind Workers Organization (SABWO), Johannesburg, with the assistance of Duxbury Systems, Inc. They are presently maintained mainly by Mr. Christo de Klerk with the help of Mr. Jan Bam, and with occasional assistance from Duxbury.
