Having tried the liblouis table recently, BRLTTY's table looks, thanks to your
work, much more mature. Where should I report issues to?
For instance, with latest master, "Beschwerden" misses out on the "en" syllable contraction
at the end.

An ambitious endeavour, indeed. Thanks!

Can anyone enlighten me why BRLTTY and liblouis have departed for braille
contraction? Off-list is fine, I don't want to make anyone unhappy.
I'm using cups-filters for braille embossing and their, liblouis is the
default translation engine.

As a remark, it would be helpful if brltty-ctb could be advertised more in
README's and on the website. It took me a while until I dug out / remembered
which program would do the translation for me.

Thanks again
Sebastian
