Yes, that's correct. Orca does its own text-to-braille translation so what it
gives brltty is already braille - not text.

>1. how do i change brltty table into liblouis one?

You can only do that when using a text console (or brltty's AtSpi2 screen
driver). You can use the -c command line option or the contracitin-table
brltty.conf directive, just like for any of brltty's own contraction tables.
Since brltty doesn't know where liblouis is, (at least at this point) you need
to give the absolute path to the table. Also, you need to prefix that path with
louis: so that brltty knows that it's a liblouis table.

>2. why brltty isn't reacting to orca table change?

Explained above. It's because Orca translates the text to braille before
passing that braille along to brltty.
