Sorry not to be answering your question here, but to do with testing tables etc. Is there a way to know where a particular translation rule is being obeyed from? To solve this problem we have: We want the @ sign to be 2346 etc. we check the table we presume it should be in and it is defined as always @ 2346 so presumably something else is interceding. Is there a way without systematically going through the tables to find the command which is overriding this one?

Thanks
Paul

Now that the UEB tables are in the liblouis svn we can test both
translation and back-translation. The best tool for this is
lou_allround, which is available if you have built liblouis on Linux or
Mac. It is completely interactive. After you give it a table name you
can type r for run and then type in anything you want. It will show both
the translation and back-translation and will even tell you if the
back-translation matches the original by displaying the message "perfect
roundtrip!"

If there is sufficient demand this facility can be made available on
Windows through a BrailleBlaster subcommand.
