Change History of the Translator App

Version 1.4 - September 2025

  • Italian and Latin can be selected as languages for Braille translation.
  • Italian Braille is based on the "Codice Braille italiano" (Biblioteca Italiana per i Ciechi "Regina Margherita" - ONLUS 2017). The app translates text, including simple mathematical expressions.
  • Latin Braille corresponds to German Braille and takes a pragmatic approach to the representation of vowels and ligatures. Vowels can be written as accented letters with a circumflex for long vowels and an acute accent for short vowels. The implementation is based on a proposal by Vivian Aldridge, member of the Braille Committee of German-speaking Countries (BSKDL).
