The Latin Uncontracted tables support print-to-braille translation of Latin-language literary text in grade 1 (uncontracted) braille only.
There are no special requirements or limitations.
Braille-to-print translation is supported for this language. However Braille-to-print translation may not be perfect, therefore errors could occur. If you find any errors or have suggestions, please send both the *.dxb and *.dxp files along with an explanation to: languages@duxsys.com (Please be sure to include sample files).
No secondary languages are supported.
No technical codes are supported.

The above is a general guide only (see "General Notes" section at the beginning of this document).

The tables were originally developed in September 1997 by Duxbury Systems, Inc.
