Jeff,
It looks like lbx_translateString is working as it is supposed to.
there is a problem with the nemeth.ctb table. The semantic pairs section
does not contain the lines for left and right square brackets. My
keyboard doesn't want to make the tilde sign, so please add them. They
should be:
always ~[ 456-12356
always ~] 456-23456
Where the ~ should be a tilde, as in the other semantic pairs.
Thanks,
John
