I think she wants braille tables for VoiceOver braille display. At
this point we do not have documentation from Apple as to how to write
our own tables.
From what I gather the current implementation of the Mac braille
tables is a modified version of NFBtrans tables. I was able to get a
Swedish table working but it is very experimental. I wish Apple would
have or would use the Braille tables from Louis which are XML based
and much simpler to generate.
As for NFBtrans and TurboBraille (tbrl) I have ported both to the
Mac and they can be found at http://w3.wmcnet.org/braille/ along with
the louis translator.

Why not download nfbtrans and port it to the mac environment? It's
a C program and has some tables though more might be needed for your
purposes. Chuck Hallenbech has tbrl which I think also uses tables
and if he's still supporting the software might be able to help you
make those tables since if memory serves he knows more than one
language. That's also written in C.

Dear David,
I have no good news at present but I'm finding myself in a similar
position in that I need to have braille tables help me read Greek,
Russian and other languages which I can fluetnly or partially
speak. I'm a keen student of foreign languages and unless modern
technology can help me, I have no chance of fulfilling my
potential. I am at present seeking some help to have Voiceover
reflect Greek letters in braille. As soon as I find out mor about
braille tables construction, I will let you know. Please e-mail me
privately so that I have your e-mail address. My e-mail is:

I cannot tell you how I sympathise with your position.
With best wishes
