Comment 2 by mohammed on 2014-08-19 15:47 I couldn't find clear and easy documentation for developing Braille tables in Liblouis. any directions you or someone else can give will be valuable to get me started on that path. P.S. Arabic grade 2 table needs to be developed too. Thanks. |

We would happy to receive a pull request for this, for now I believe we are still blocked by the creation of Arabic translation tables (please correct me if I'm wrong). |
Hi. An Arabic input table now exists, however it doesn't work very well, it can only type the Arabic characters that don't map to any English character. that's because the existing Arabic table defines English characters via an include statement. which I think is wrong and nonstandard. I tried to edit the table but it didn't work. It looks like simply editing the table and restarting NVDA is not enough if you're not running from source. Can anyone help me with this quest? |
Editing a table and restarting should be sufficient. If you're using an installed copy of NVDA, you'll have to edit it within the Program Files directory, which requires administrator privileges. It might be easier to use a portable copy for this reason. |
thanks. I just can't find the table responsible for input C:\nvda\louis\tables\ar-ar-g1.utb seems to handle Arabic braille output. while ar.tbl doesn't seem to do anything. can you guide me in this regard? |
The same tables are used for both input and output; in this case,
ar-ar-g1.utb. The .tbl files are just metadata and can be ignored; NVDA
does not use them.

@jcsteh Hello! |
Please address questions/bugs regarding liblouis tables to the liblouis project. See https://github.com/liblouis/liblouis for details. There is a mailing list to which you can subscribe to ask questions. Thanks. |
Closing because the table is now listed after #6449. It needs to be fixed to support back-translation properly, but that should be addressed in the liblouis project. Once the fixes make it into a liblouis release, this can be included in NVDA. |
this is now fixed in liblouis 3.8. |

hi,
arabic braille sense users confirm that they can't read what is being typed on their braille display.
when i asked them to change the input table to arabic, they found out that the list of input tables doesn't include arabic.
note, the output list contains arabic tables.
so what should be done?
thanks
