The Biblical original languages are usually produced in uncontracted braille. This means that words in the text are produced in braille on a one-for-one basis, i.e. one braille character for each inkprint character. Be yond that, representing some inkprint punctuation requires more than one braille character. The braille translation adds further characters to indicate upper case, emphasis, and numbers. However, the braille has no abbreviations or contractions.
If you have questions about how braille is produced, please contact a member of your local braille authority.
This language is written in a script other than the Roman alphabet.This may result in problems when importing files into DBT. Your best bet is to import files from Microsoft Word or Open Office that are written in a Unicode font.You can contact support at Duxbury Systems if you have a file which does not import properly into DBT. Please send the file which does not import (the original inkprint file), not a screen shot of DBT.
