This involves both translation and formatting. Translation is necessary because words in braille are often contradicted.
Translation is complicated by the fact that the substitution often depends on phonetic context.
Formatting also involves customs and considerations peculiar to the braille medium, such as handling poetry lines that exceed the width of the braille page, and the representation of corresponding print page numbers. The Translator is also capable of translating and formatting braille to print. For such use, the input file would most likely be from a braille-oriented device, i.e. one with a braille keyboard.
