That's expected to be added to the API later.

Mmm, in such case, I'd maybe suggest to use separate braille
translation software and directly send dots via the API, because at
least for asian languages for instance, you can't use a "table". The
braille translation is much more complicated.

I'll work on it.

Mmm, I don't understand: do you get an error when using
brlapi.Connection() (which is a bug), or when using brlapi.write() with
displayNumber != -1? (which is normal since it's not yet implemented)
