TURKISH (Uncontracted)
TABLE DESIGNATOR

(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 Turkish Uncontracted tables support print-to-braille translation of Turkish-language literary text in uncontracted Turkish 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
These tables were adapted from the then-current Irish Gaelic tables by Duxbury Systems, Inc. in November 2001, based upon information on Turkish Braille in "World Braille Usage," a joint publication of UNESCO and the National Library Service for the Blind and Physically Handicapped, Washington, D.C. (1990). Subsequent maintenance has been aided by feedback from users, e.g. a Turkish-speaking student at UCLA.
