That is correct in that it spells vitalis , Braille is not a language like English or German, it's an alphabet.

As in English, if it is a *name* or *nickname*, it should be capitalized. ⟨Vitalis⟩ would be ⟨⠠⠧⠊⠞⠁⠇⠊⠎⟩, whereas ⟨⠧⠊⠞⠁⠇⠊⠎⟩ would be ⟨vitalis⟩.
In (grade two) English braille, my username would be written ⟨⠠⠞⠺⠊⠌⠫⠠⠎⠳⠏⟩, not ⟨⠞⠺⠊⠌⠫⠎⠳⠏⟩.
It is **not** universal for all languages. If you take ⟨⠠⠧⠊⠞⠁⠇⠊⠎⟩ and assume that you're writing in Japanese braille (known as *tenji*), then you'd get ⟨わひおとあにおの⟩, or *wahiotoaniono*. This is gibberish. A similar nonsense word would occur if you interpreted it as being Russian or Greek. French and German braille are the most similar to English, but they are not without differences.
