Re: [orca-list] Orca, Braille Displays and Braille translation

[Jason White <jason jasonjgw net>]

Where did you set the translation table to UK Grade II? If it was set in the Orca preferences, then it should 
work - I think Orca still uses the liblouis translator, just as many other screen readers now do, on several 
operating systems.

Try Unified English Braille and see whether you still experience the contraction errors. If not, it could be 
a translation issue with the UK table.

For the cursor routing keys, try testing in a console session. If they work fine in that context, then it 
could be an Orca issue - but it would be useful to try them in the console first to rule out any problem with 
the underlying BRLTTY software used to control the display.

    Hi everyone
    
    I am using a Brailliant BI 40 running  Ubuntu Mate 18.04 LTS and Orca 
    3.35.1 pre, which I think is the latest from Master.
    
    I am a little curious about Braille functionality as I am getting some 
    very strange Braille feedback.
    
    I have my display set to read UK English Grade II, but I am getting odd 
    dot formations and in some cases, missing contractions.
    
    As I write this, I have also discovered that I am unable to use my 
    cursor routing keys.
    
    What does Orca use to translate  Braille please and is the Brailliant 
    supported?
    
    Thanks. Other than this, I love using Orca and the freedom it gives me 
    toexperience Linux.
    
    Best
    
    James
