Comment 4 by nishimotz on 2013-02-01 07:07 NVDA Japanese Team is developing a forked version called NVDAJP, which contains experimental Japanese braille support. This work includes the development of test harness of Japanese braille, which is publicly hosted at launchpad repository, based on the rules made by the Braille Authority of Japan (BAJ). In parallel, prototype version of translator, written in Python, is under development. Our next step will be the combination of Japanese language-depended part (which handles semantic contexts based on the Japanese transliteration dictionary) and language-independent part (which is table-oriented process that liblouis can handle). The goal is to contribute the Japanese braille translator as an enhancement of liblouis, which will be also used in mainstream version of NVDA. |

@nishimotz Could you please share any updates about work done on Japanese Braille support in relation to your #2736 (comment)? |
Japanese Braille support of NVDAJP is implemented as follows: We restarted to work with liblouis recently. |
@nishimotz Is there currently a way to integrate this work into the regular version of NVDA? What I mean is, can I add/replace in a regular NVDA install to make the Japanese braille support active? |
@nishimotz: is there a related liblouis issue? |
No liblouis issue so far. |
Closed by #13141 |
Hmmm ... @nishimotz if I'm not mistaken this Liblouis update adds kantenji, not the braille table NVDAJP uses. Given the low usage of kantenji, should we really consider this issue closed? |
There really needs to be an issue opened against liblouis for this. |
Found it: blocked by liblouis/liblouis#1153 |
Currently NVDA support only the 8 dot kantenji braille, but not the also very commong 6 dot tenkanji braille. So the referenced issue might get reopened in the Liblouis repository. |

Currently Japanese users has no usable braille other than for Latin characters.
