7.4.2.4 Translation Options.
This group of 9 settings affects the way in which the current Braille document is reformatted when
it is translated to a text document The Translation option indicator is $txi. Settings apply from the
start of the current paragraph, and can be changed at chosen points throughout the document. The
initial values are covered in 15.19.8 Reviewing and Setting Back Translation Options, as well as
other translation settings that are not available while editing.
To access the print translation options, either select the "Translation options" from the Ink-print
Settings Menu, or press BACKSPACE with ENTER with O. The settings are as follows:
What type of paragraph boundary is used in the source document?
Interpret larger boundaries as paragraphs also?

Translation find and replace.
The last item allows you to replace a particular formatting sequence with another, as part of the
translation process. For example, the Braille document might use 3 spaces anywhere on a line to
indicate the start of a new paragraph, and New Line indicators in the text document could replace
these.
To set up this sequence, at the “Find?” prompt press the binding space command ENTER with B,
three times, followed by ENTER.
This sets up the "Find?" string of 3 spaces, then at the “Replacement for 3 spaces?” prompt type:
SPACE with dots 2-6 followed by ENTER.
This sets up the "Replacement?" string of one New Line.
