Don't do that. I would be very very very angry at you if you did that
on me. Unlike speech, braille table is something you should not switch
in the middle of a page just because its language changed. One's
braille table already maps many foreign characters one is used to,
regardless of the language used.

Please don't abuse it. Don't try to manage braille table yourself for
example.
