Hello! John, I think this is food for you. I have a really strange issue regarding backtranslation, that I cannot solve by myself. I'm using liblouis-1.4.0, and liblouisxml-1.7.0 at the moment. One table that can be used to reproduce this, is No-No-g2.ctb. If I backtranslate the word "ei", which is a Norwegian word by itself, it's backtranslated into "elleri", e.g. the letter "e" is backtranslated into "eller" as it should have been if the "e" was alone, and the letter "i" is added. The word "eller" is defined as word in the table, not begword. If I try to backtranslate "ef", this does not happen. The same happens with "bli". "bl" is backtranslated into "blant", and the "i" is added. "blant" is defined as word too. I've read the tables up and down, but I cannot understand why this should happen. Hope you can help me!
