Re: [orca-list] [Fwd: Announcing Orca v2.21.4]

Hi:

We haven't done specific work with Chinese braille.  For GNOME 2.22, 
however, we are shooting to integrate liblouis.

Coscell, are you doing any work with liblouis?  In addition, do you have 
any insight on how we can better support Chinese braille?  For example, 
is liblouis something that can help?  Is there something else that's 
already available that works?
