"Refreshable braille display" article on wikipedia is available in 
several languages and could perhaps be a starting point.
But it's also useful to add a short introduction into .pot file.
It's also very useful to add TRANSLATORS: comments. Also in case of GRUB 
I follow few of the resulting translations to see where the translators 
get it wrong in order to fix the original string and/or add TRANSLATORS 
comment.
If someone familiar with BRLTTY understands another language it's very 
fruitful to proofread the language in question (while translations done 
by people knowing the project are of good quality, the translations by 
someone familiar with software translations in general and proofread by 
someone familiar with project in question results in even better results 
and if the comments are incorporated back in form of corrections and 
comments it results in better future translations).
