Hi Steve,
Hebrew and Arabic braille reads left to right.
You can find out a little more in the appropriate Help:
language Tables entry.
I know that Japanese has been looked at, but is a two byte
character, presenting problems of its own. However the
advent of Unicode may help the process along.
Chinese -- well... Similar tale, but at the end of the day
priority has to go to the highest demand at the moment.
George.
