HI. Well I've just checked this out with our internal Braille Oracle and he tells me that in 1992 when the UK Braille rules changed the dot 5 g dot 5 C abbreviations became non-standard Braille, and were theoretically only to be used in a religious brailed context. Thus again taking the rules at there most literal the translation table is correct.
Now I've also tried to add one of these into the pronunciation dictionary and I suspect the difficulty here is that in both edit boxes you are expected to write computer Braille and that is probably why it wont work, although I'm sure someone can explain this point far more eloquently.
