[macvoiceover] Re: liblouis 1.2.6 upgrade installer

PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING CORRECTION IN THE COMMAND LINE: cat /path/ to/braille.brf | translate -b /etc/liblouis/en-us-g2.ctb > /path/to/ newfile.txt
Yes it can. If you were to have a U.S. grade two file for example let's call it braille.brf and you wanted to make it into ascii text here is what your would do on the UNIX command line:
cat /path/to/braille.brf | translate -b /etc/liblouis/en-us-g2.ctb > / path/to/newfile.txt
What we are doing here is telling the UNIX program cat to send the text of the file braille.brf to translate and telling translate that we want it's output to go into the file newfile.txt
Translate has a switch -f and -b which stand for forward, text to braille and backwards (-b) braille to text so in this case we use the -b switch. The other item is the path to the U.S. grade two translation table.

I have upgraded the liblouis installer found at http:// w3.wmcnet.org/braille/liblouis/
This upgrade includes braille translation tables for nearly all European and North American languages as well as installing braille print fonts. liblouis is the foundation for many of my braille tools and I would advise updating.
The basic program is called translate and its command line usage is as follows: 

translate -f|-b tranlationtable
so for example: echo "Hello Greg" | translate -f /etc/liblouis/en- us-g1.utb 
would output: ,hello ,greg
