- Updated liblouis braille translator to [3.14.0 https://github.com/liblouis/liblouis/releases/tag/v3.14.0] (from 3.12.0). (#10832, #11221)

Please interchange the versions – "from 3.12 to 3.14". Then it sounds better and is more understandable. Thanks.

I don't think it is harmful to break this consistency, and it's helpful to know what the last version was.

Thanks @Qchristensen, these changes have been addressed in #11264
