Change History of the Translator App

• Back translation of Italian Braille was improved with regard to special characters such as currency symbols, accented letters, brackets and mathematical expressions, as well as capital letters within words
  
• The option "Use Computer Code" is no longer available for the languages "Italian" and "Spanish" because a special representation of computer braille in 6-dot braille is not defined in these Braille systems
  
• If the option "Indicators for Math Signs" is deactivated, the Grade of Braille for Grade 1 changes to "Math Braille". This clarifies that a translation of the entire text into Math Braille is taking place
  
• When dictating text, a special character was incorrectly appended to the end of the text (Unicode U+FFF4). This character is now automatically removed
  
• Improved vocabulary for German and Italian
  
• Improvements to the graphical user interface
  

• 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).
