Lithuanian Braille Translator (uncontracted)

Peter,

The Lithuanian braille-to-print table (ltaacb.btb) has been updated

to process Lithuanian text properly as such, including the special

Lithuanian letters. (Formerly it was a placeholder suitable only for

the Latin-1 letters and embedded English.)

-- Joe

FUNCTIONAL SUMMARY

The Lithuanian tables support print-to-braille translation of Lithuanian-language literary text written in either the Roman or Cyrillic alphabet. Russian written in Cyrillic characters should also work as a secondary language. English text may also be processed as a sub-language, and converted to contracted or uncontracted English braille (generally following British conventions in those minor instances where they differ from American ones).

REFERENCES, HISTORY AND CREDITS

These tables were developed in February 2004 by Duxbury Systems, Inc., based upon information from Eric Vasiliauskas.
