Braille on Apple Products

I would like to raise an issue wich mostly affects those who use their braille devices for input and run non English versions of IOS. My native language is Russian and I love to use IOS with braille. But every time I need to enter text in English or some punctuation marks I have to detach my braille device and use either on-screen keyboard or attach a bluetooth querty keyboard. Of course, I have an option to temporarily switch voiceover language to english but since the whole interface remains Russian, the actual works become extremely inconvenient. It is happening mostly because on Russian version of IOS VoiceOver does not support computer braille. So, I would very much appriciate if any voiceover braille user whose language is not latin based, would join this discussion, share his or her experiance and we with the help of the applevis team would be able to resolve this long standing issue.
