Hello Mesar .
This would be very valuable. I developed such a thing with APH's translation
software. In it I just created files that alternated braille and text, both
having been checked for accuracy. Each time we found a translation error we
added a pair of lines that tested for that error. It helped us not only check
that the error had been fixed but also that we didn't re-break previous
corrections.

Hi John G,
Another useful thing that would be good to have is words, sentances or texts
which have already been translated/manually checked for their correctness.
Maybe you can ask the organizations for this at the same time.
If view plus already has some lists and its ok to share them then this would be
great.
The plan is to add human checked/corrected braille as harness tests, to make it
clear and obvious when code/tables are not working correctly.
It doesn't matter how they represented the human checked braille, as long as it
is consistant we can probably write something to convert it into a test harness
file, the important thing is that it is correct braille.
Does this sound like the right thing to be doing?
Thanks,
Mesar
