Language switching for braille output #18984

Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Currently NVDA has automatic language switching for voices, but this does not change the braille output and so the wrong braille is displayed on the braille device.

Describe the solution you'd like

Allow NVDA to automatically change the braille output table to match the language.

Currently NVDA has automatic language switching for voices, but this does not change the braille output and so the wrong braille is displayed on the braille device.

As there is likely more than one braille code for each language, it would be desirable if a configuration profile could be set up for a particular language so that the braille output changed to match the language and therefore bring all the other appropriate settings.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Alternatively, setting default braille codes for particular languages would be good.

A current workaround is to use the profiles to change the braille code but this is not automatic.

Thanks!
