Hello all,

The recent thread regarding the sad demise of the LouisBraille translator for 
OSX has sparked a question which I've had since my arrival in the world of OSX 
in June of 2011. Is it possible under Mavericks or any release of OSX to 
somehow install Braille tables/layouts which are not directly supported by 
Voiceover and the OS? For example, I remember my tired glee a couple years ago 
when I discovered that one could modify the .jbt files within Jaws for Windows, 
allowing the screen reader to access other languages whose character sets were 
previously out of reach. It was quite tedious, but my eyes were opened when my 
Braille display cranked out crisp Arabic letters and vowel diacritics! Is that 
sort of thing possible in OSX? I admire how they sneakily added Braille support 
for loads of Indic languages into the "Hindi" Braille table, such as Tamil, 
Gujarati and Bengali. Could we do that with Burmese and Khmmer in the "Thai" 
table for instance?
