I’m not seeing a need for the translate command. I have the braile settings with both input and display set to contracted and the automatic translation set to off.
Using the Braille Edge with an iPhone 5, if I type a p and hit space, it becomes people and so on. Granted, it doesn’t translate if I pause in a word like it does if automatic translation is on, but I am not clear why you would need to hit the translation command at the end of a paragraph, etc. What am I missing here? Are there specific apps where this is more easily demonstrated? While I am a long time braille user, I have to admit, I have not used the braille display that much for input, mostly jut for reading.

I've been using contracted Braille for so long that typing uncontracted Braille is more distracting for me than dealing with the delay. But it might work better for you; you never know. I find that turning automatic translation off lets me keep my writing rhythm going when I only have to press the translate command at the end of a paragraph or before a hard carriage return.

I have just switched automatic translation off and use dots 4-5 chord to translate each paragraph or before each hard return. I also use dots 8-chord for a carriage return, though this might be problematic if you use eight-dot input.

The braille drags behind badly and pretty soon stops taking the braille. Hitting spacebar plus dots 1 5 freezes the display instead of putting in a hard return. Anyone else experiencing this?
