Great!  Thank you very much for the integration work!

I'll give it a try as soon as I get time.

Good :) I was lazy to do it in my prototype cups-braille package :)

Oh, I didn't know cups was able to do this. Even better then.

Yes; that's very useful.

Yes, please do. Actually I was suprised that the documentation tells to
use "fr.po" name, since as seen by this conflict they have to *not* have
that name :)

Actually they could even be merged, that'd be better since otherwise
there would be a lot of duplication.  I have attached the resulting
merge.

This file is used to generate the translation table in
drivers/index/imageubrltoindexv[34].  I felt it was good to integrate it
as "source code" for them, even if actually running the generation in
Makefile is more tedious than really useful.

Sure, no problem.

Oops... I must admit I didn't test polish & dutch braille since I speak
them and don't have an index4 device :)  I have attached a patch.

Thanks for your reactivity!
