Hmmm...
The basic functionality of this program is similar to txt2html,
latex2html, etc. The word translator is misleading even though that's
the commonly used term among Braille users. It actually is a
converter.
Anyway, it is a converter which takes a plain ascii text and outputs
either formated ascii text or formated Braille file(*). So I have a
feeling that this should be in the same category as all other text
file converters.
* Here, Braille file is somehow misleading name. It actually is ascii
file. I can talk about this in more detail, but let's not do it
here. :)
Cheers,
Max
