+INTRODUCTION
+
+Liblouis is an open-source braille translator and back-translator. It
+features support for computer and literary braille, supports
+contracted and uncontracted translation for many, many languages
+(Arabic, Armenian, Bulgarian, Chinese, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch,
+English, Esperanto, Estonian, Finish, French, Gaelic, German, Greek,
+Icelandic, Italian, Lithuanian, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese,
+Romanian, Russian, Slovakian, Spanish, Swedish, Turkish, Vietnamese,
+Welsh) and has support for hyphenation. New languages can easily be
+added through tables that support a rule- or dictionary based
+approach. Included are also tools for testing and debugging tables.
+Liblouis also supports math braille (Nemeth and Marburg). The
+formatting of braille is provided by the companion project
+liblouisxml.
+
+Liblouis is based on the translation routines in the BRLTTY
+screenreader for Linux. It has, however, gone far beyond these
+routines. It is named in honor of Louis Braille. In Linux and Mac OSX
+it is a shared library, and in Windows it is a DLL.
