Thanks for the answers, folks. Would it then generally be safe to assume
that if a back translator can work with .brf files, it can also work with
.brl files, since they are less complex? Specifically, I am incorporating
NFBTrans as a utility to open .brf files in EdSharp and have them
converted to readable text. I have this working fairly well with English
.brf files. I do not have a true .brl file to test with, however, so am
wondering if I can use the same process for that file extension. If
anyone can point me to a public URL of a .brl file, I could try it.
