John, Attached is the default.cfg file (which I added the xmlheader line to the xml section). I took out the use of my .sem file for now. Here is the code: UserData * pUserData = static_cast< UserData* >( lbx_initialize( "C:/VCP/CT5000/Development/CT5000/Central/CD/Braille/lbx_files/default.cfg", "LibLouis.log" ) ); char s[ 128 ]; strcpy( s, pUserData->xml_header ); and here is what the variable s equals: "<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF8' standalone='yes'?>" which is the value in canonical.cfg.

Please send your configuration file and the code you are using to call lbx_translateString. You do not have to call lbx_inisialize first unless you wish to use the data in the user-data structure in your own program.
