Christian,

It seems that the Liblouis program in the latest version of Brailblaster is
still the old version from 8th November 2014. That is why it did not have
the files that Ronan has been working on. NVDA uses the later version of
liblouis and does have the Irish files.

We thought that countries.cti needed to be pointing to the Welsh files when
we did a test last week. However, when we include the Irish files,
Brailleblaster cannot find them even though .ie is active in the
countries.cti. Should the national code be in the file name of the Irish
braille table files?

Now the big question is:
"what is the function of countries.cti? Is it significant to have the
country identified and, if so, how does the program link the national code
to the grade 1 and grade 2 translation tables since the code is not
contained within these tables?


All the best,

Cearbhall

I want to add the translation files for the Irish language (gaeilge) so

files are needed?
Sorry, I was busy with the release. We'd be happy to have your tables. I see
that there are already Irish tables maintained by Ronan McGuirk,
<ronan.p.mcguirk@xxxxxxxxx> (see
https://github.com/liblouis/liblouis/blob/master/tables/ga-g1.utb and
https://github.com/liblouis/liblouis/blob/master/tables/ga-g2.ctb). Can you
look at them and take up any improvements with Ronan?

Once you have the new tables you can send them to this list or even better
open a pull request on github.
I propose the following three files:
1. countries.cti (modified to add "compbrl .ga Ireland" to include
Ireland)
.ga seems to be used for Gabon. countries.cti contains .ie for Ireland.
Is that wrong?
2. ga-ga-g1.utb2
3. ga-ga-g2.ctb

What about the xml structures? Do I need to provide an extra set of xml
data to the English configuration table in liblouisxml?
I'm not too knowledgeable about liblouisxml. Which xml are you talking
about?

HTH
Christian
