I wonder if any of the Brailleblaster developers are on this list?
Following Michael's recent success with the Welsh files, we would like to
add the Irish translation tables so that Brailleblaster can access them. I
take it that we would need to add critical files to Liblouis and liblouisxml
- is that correct? Could you advise us as to what files are critical or,
even better, where we can read what to do to make this contribution to
brailleblaster and to Liblouis?
All the best,
Cearbhall

Michael,
I found a file in the tables folder under "liblouis" within Brailleblaster
called "countries.cti" which list each of the countries. There is no entry
for CY or for Welsh or Wales. Perhaps this needs to be added to get Liblouis
to link to the Welsh set of tables?
Modelling on the existing entries, here is the entry that I think should be
added:
compbrl .cy Wales
Perhaps someone on this list might comment on this.
All the best,
Cearbhall

Hello Keith,
Thanks for your response.
Yes, I tried using the Portuguese translation grades 1 and 2 tables and did
get output when I ran the command line.
Does this mean that there is some issue with the tables that I have
previously been using?
Regards,
Michael

Seems like that should work.
Have you tried any other tables? We've mostly worked with the English tables
and so there probably needs to be more testing to be sure other languages
work.

Hi Folks
I am new to BrailleBlaster and would like some assistance please.
I have downloaded the most recent version and when I open the
Braille/Translation Templates menu and tab to Translation Settings I can
select one of two languages - English (US) or English (GB).
My question is how would I transcribe a file in say Welsh into Grade 2
Welsh.
I have tried doing this from the command line with the instruction java -jar
brailleblaster.jar translate -f c:\users\owner\liblouisutdml.ini infile.txt
outfile.txt
But the file outfile.txt is coming out empty.
In the liblouisutdml.ini file I have set literarytexttable to cy-cy-g2.ctb.
When I set this to en-gb-g2.ctb or en-us-g2.ctb the file outfile.txt is
populated.
Any assistance is gratefully appreciated.
Michael Lavin.
