In this paper, we have shown the improvement of English to Bharti Braille machine translation system. We have shown how we can improve a baseline NMT model by adding some linguistic knowledge to it.

The least improvement was observed in English-Nepali language pair with 22.08 observed in the English-Hindi language pair with 23.30
