Dear list members, I am working for Japanese language support of NVDA screen reader. There are no open-source braille engine commonly used in Japan. I am studying liblouis to discuss how to implement open-source Japanese braille translation engine. Liblouis seems very difficult to support Japanese without adding new operation commands. However, louis is the standard engine in the open-source world, so if louis can support Japanese, it will help not only NVDA, but also other products such as GNOME or DAISY pipeline. Please let me know if there are related efforts or discussions in the past.
