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
