TIBETAN
TABLE DESIGNATOR
bod
(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 Tibetan tables support print-to-braille translation of Tibetan-language literary text into uncontracted Tibetan braille.
Uncontracted English is also supported. Technical (mathematics and computer) notation is generally transcribed as in Unified English Braille (UEB).
REFERENCES, HISTORY AND CREDITS
The Tibetan Braille Translator is based on spreadsheets and pdf files provided by Braille Without Borders. Working with Braille Without Borders, we also included handling of the popular Wylie Romanization. We welcome comments to improve these tables.
