10 years ago Comment 1 by nvdakor on 2014-06-13 10:41 Hi, I hope our work would not be in vain... For table names, should we keep using the current names for UEB tables, or should we use a different scheme like English (Unified) Grade 1/2? I personally propose the latter for consistency. Translators can copy the old translation to the new table entries.

Joseph, Mesar, do you know the current status of this work? Do you think they're ready for wide spread use?

I understand the thinking here, but my problem with this is that the code is actually called Unified English Braille Code and that's how it's known to the public. You could argue that other codes have official names as well, but in those cases, there is normally only one code specific to that country, so most people don't care about the official name.

I'd say so - at least for grade 1. Ken Perry is working on grade 2 (last time I heard), and we had talks about how to implement cap section rule (dots 6-6-6).

Got it. Let's see what UEB devs say on LibLouis list. Thanks.

8 years ago Hi,
To be combined with #6109 (keeping the old names, linking to new file names). Thanks.
Reported by jteh on 2014-06-13 05:52 NVDA is still using the old UEBC-* tables instead of the newer en-ueb-* tables. Originally, we didn't switch to the new tables because of some serious regressions such as computer braille being used for URLs. However, this was quite some time ago and these issues are very likely fixed now. The computer braille issue certainly is. Furthermore, the old tables are no longer being maintained at all. We should switch to the new tables (at least on next) and get any remaining regressions fixed in liblouis.
