I have upgraded the liblouis installer found at http://w3.wmcnet.org/ braille/liblouis/
This upgrade includes braille translation tables for nearly all European and North American languages as well as installing braille print fonts. liblouis is the foundation for many of my braille tools and I would advise updating. It also includes the Braille contextual menu. Select text in a Cocoa application and the use the Braille contextual menu to set the contents of the clipboard to the U.S. English grade two translation.
The basic program is called translate and its command line usage is as follows: 

translate -f|-b tranlationtable
so for example: echo "Hello Greg" | translate -f /etc/liblouis/en-us- g1.utb 
would output: ,hello ,greg
