Hi Ed,

Sadly, I can confirm that there are some significant errors with the
Standard English Braille tables for Liblouis.
These tables are meant for forward translation only really, the
backtranslation is very poor and has several serious errors.

I would recommend that the best translation comes from the Unified
English Braille tables and I continue to work on them.

With best regards,

James.

Subject: Braillists Forum: Problem with LibLouis UK braille table
/Advanced Braille Keyboard

Hi all,



 



I'm using the Advanced Braille Keyboard app on my Android phone.



 



The app gives you the choice to use either its built-in or the Liblouis

braille table.



 



When I set the app to use the Liblouis Sensible English Braille/UK grade
2

braille table, I get a number of errors.  Most noticeably "lovely"
becomes

"£ovely".



 



Is this likely to be an issue with Liblouis rather than ABK? I know
Liblouis

has contained errors in the past.



 



If it is, does anyone know if there is a version numbered braille table
from

Liblouis which I could suggest the app developer uses instead?



 



Cheers,



 



Ed
