Hi Sarah,
Sorry, I can't answer your question since I'm still running version 4.01
(although I am about to be mPowered soon). THis is exactly what I was
thinking, iI love both Keynote and Eloquence speech, however, I prefer
Eloquence when it comes to Spanish. One added bonus for the implementation
of Eloquence for Spanish in my opinion is that you can choose between the
Castilian and Latin American dialects. But I guess we each have our own
preferences. It would be great, though, if support for Eloquence becomes
available for those of us who prefer it and have purchased the BrailleNote
multilingual software. That being said, I applaud all of the strides
Humanware has made so over the last couple of years. I'm just making a
suggestion for a feature I think some of us may find useful.
Saludos,
Lindsay

Yes, good suggestion. I like keynote best for English speech, but eloquence
is much better for Spanish. Of course I don't really need language support
on my braille note, so I can't justify the price, but I know many people do
need it and really prefer eloquence for other languages. I think one of my
friends would try to get the money to upgrade to an MPower if she could use
keynote for English and Eloquence for Spanish and French.
On the same toppic ... Is there any way that more characters could be
displayed correctly in Grade II English braile when they are from other
languages as they are on BrailleNotes with multilingual support? It would
be great if E acute would display as a dot for in front of the letter e
instead of just disappearing. I guess I have the same issue with Em-dashes,
which properly should appear as double dashes when translated in to braille.
Instead they also vanish completely. I was surprised to find that a bullet
did appear just like a star instead of disappearing, so if that character
can be made, dispite taking two characters in braille when it takes only one
character in print, then why not accented characters and the em-dash? Is
there any way I can change this behavior on my BrailleNote? Someone
mentioned something about adding characters to, or changing, the braile
tables for unicode characters, but she didn't remember how to do it. If
someone could tell me what can and can not be done now it would be great.
She would have only known what to do on a Braille Note with version 4 and I
know the translation used has changed since then.

Thanks, Jonathan. I have another question along these lines for you or
anyone else on this list who might know. I am currently awaiting my
transplant from a Classic running 4.01 to an mPower and am getting very
excited to make this huge technological leap forward! I was told that
Eloquence for languages other than English is not currently supported by
the
BrailleNote. I was wondering if it would be at all possible to implement
capability with other Eloquence languages in a future upgrade. Again, I am
not trying to complain because I am looking forward to the increased
functionality which the mPower has to offer! I am just curious. Thanks.
Lindsay
