In DBT for English documents you can have your screen reader read the back
translated line. It will not be perfect but is pretty close.
Cheers,

Alan,
I can't comment on the appearance of braille dots in an Email message, but
I can tell you that the only way to read braille as it is rendered by
translation software is to use a braille display. For a screen reader to
render braille into intelligible speech, you would have to send the
material through a reverse translator to turn it back into text.
