Some work has started on support of Unicode and International Braille in Libbraille. Before to include that in the library, I am doing some tests with an online translator to check that everything works: http://libbraille.org/translator.php Many languages are already supported including Arabic, Japanese or Vietnamese Braille. You are invited to test it and suggest new Braille tables or report any problem.

A Libbraille driver for Brltty has been developed. It means that it is now possible to use additional displays supported by Libbraille with this famous screen reader for the unix console, like the hermes or the technibraille displays.
