The reason is that this tool is used by sign makers and other needing
braille in diffident braille code. For example if you were making a
sign ffor a woman's room in Swedish, the Swedish word being Kvinna,
and you did the translation in the US grade 2 table you get:
,kv9na
But this would be incorrect. In Swedish braille it is:
_kvinna
Swedish braille never contracts and uses a different capital
indicator than does US braille. Hence the reason for the different
tables and support for such.

text translated into braille in different languages, when those of
us who need that use note takers anyways, and we cant as of yet use
the mac with braille except in termnal?

I added my braille widget to the liblouis installers at http://

The widget will let you translate text into braille using a whole
host of different language braille codes.
