If you find Turbo Braille or nfbtrans, you may be able to look at the 
translation tables and figure it out, however it isn't as simple as applying a 
few rules.  There are lots of exceptions etc., and it takes a couple years of 
using a translator by a number of people to get it right.  I know, I did it 
once, with Turbo Braille.
