Translation Options. 

This group of 11 settings affects the way in which a particular presentation style in a text document 
appears in the corresponding translated or embossed version. They are collectively referred to as the 
“Braille Translation Options List.” Settings apply from the start of the current paragraph, and can 
be changed at chosen points throughout the document. The initial values are covered in 15.19.9 
Reviewing and Setting Forward Translation Options, as well as other translation settings that are 
not available while editing. 

To access the Braille translation options in a text document, press READ with CONTROL with B, 

then T for Translation options. KeySoft displays: 

"Braille translation options list.” 

The settings are as follows: 

What type of paragraph boundary is used in the source document? 

Interpret larger boundaries as paragraphs also? 

New Line translation option? 

Convert italics font to Braille italics? 

Suppress multiple spaces? 

Suppress New Page markers? 

Ignore Tabs? 

Include capital signs? 

Suppress blank lines in Outline style? 

Revert to paragraph style after how many blank lines? 

Translation find and replace. 

The last item allows you to replace a particular formatting sequence with another, as part of the 
translation process. For example, the text document might use two New Line markers to separate 
paragraphs, and these could be replaced by 3 spaces in Braille. 

To achieve this last scenario you would first move onto the 

“Translation find and replace” option. 

At the 

“Find?” prompt, press CONTROL with ENTER twice to look for 2 New Line Markers, 

followed by ENTER to end the find sequence. You will then be prompted for the 
“Replacement for 2 new lines?” at which point you can press CONTROL with SPACE 3 times, 
followed by ENTER. 

A Braille Translation Option within a text document is indicated by the marker $txb.
