At the end of 2022, LEGO approached the ELSA Center at CTU with a request for assistance in localizing LEGO® Braille Bricks into the Czech language and, consequently, Czech Braille. The ELSA Center had previously employed a co-author of the Czech Braille standard. Building on this history, ELSA staff created a frequency analysis of Czech language characters and prepared a corresponding proposal for the number of LEGO Braille Bricks. They also approved the graphic design of the bricks, particularly with regard to the Czech Braille standard. Based on this information, a prototype of Czech Braille bricks was then created, laying the foundation for the introduction of LEGO bricks with Braille in our country.
