Norwegian Braille Translator (uncontracted)  

FUNCTIONAL SUMMARY

The Norwegian tables support print-to-braille translation of Norwegian-language literary text in uncontracted Norwegian braille. The Saami language is also supported as Norwegian. English text may also be processed as a sub-language, and converted to contracted or uncontracted English braille (following British conventions). The American Computer Braille Code (CBC) is also supported.
