The translation and formatting of text-to-braille in idB is done by the Liblouis framework. Therefore, it is necessary that the required language is available and approved in Liblouis. As Liblouis is an Open Source project, it is possible to make fine adjustments to the braille translation tables as needed. Please contact us for development in your language if currently not available.

How to contribute - Liblouis A summary of how Liblouis open community is organized and how to contribute.
The liblouis framework aims to provide forward and backward translation of braille, i.e. translating text to braille and translating braille to text. It has support for a large number of languages and there is a fairly good documentation for creating new braille translation rules, a.k.a. braille tables. For general information regarding Liblouis, check out the Liblouis homepage http://liblouis.org.
For writing tables for Liblouis check out the following resources:
