Please note that Braille is used also for Hebrew. We use the same codes,
but
they are assigned a different meaning. The reader has to know or guess
which
language it is.
I don't remember whether Hebrew Braille is written RTL or LTR.

Braille is probably used for a lot of scripts, maybe even *most* scripts
used for modern languages - in Bhutan I know they use Braille for writing
Dzongkha (Tibetan script).

Presumably it is no more difficult for a multilingual reader to "know or
guess" what language is being used than it is for sighted readers to
tell the difference between e.g. English and French in a Latin script text.
