Hi Cearbhall

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.

The newest version of the tables is included in the latest liblouis release that you can get from http://liblouis.org/downloads/ or from https://github.com/liblouis/liblouis/releases/tag/v2.6.4.

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?

As far as I know the countries.cti has nothing to do with how tables are found.

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?

Arend already explained this. countries.cti is not significant for table selection. Bert did some work on meta data so tables can be found based on that. But that is atm just for liblouis. I wouldn't know how tables are choosen in Brailleblaster.

Thanks
