NVDA should leave braille tables alone when changing language #18538
Description
Cc @nvdaes
Introduced in #17222
Steps to reproduce:
- Define braille tables for input and output.
- Change NVDA's language.
Actual behavior:
Braille tables for input and output are set to auto.
Expected behavior:
Braille tables should be left alone. Since the default is auto, the user probably chose a specific table for a reason.
note that changing the braille table is even more problematic when you are changing NVDA's language when a configuration profile is active. The profile will be reset to auto, not the default configuration.
Additional context
I sometimes switch between NVDA languages to test add-on translations. Current behavior requires me to change braille tables every time after changing the language. This is far from ideal.

@LeonarddeR , I've applied the p3 label to this issue. Feel free to create a PR, or I'll try to do it.

@LeonarddeR as a workaround in the meantime or as a more efficient workflow, have you considered using
-n/--langcommand line flag for NVDA?LeonarddeR commentedon Jul 23, 2025
@CyrilleB79 Thanks, that will definitely help in the mean time.
